B-Rad · 11-04-2003, 12:05 AM

im selling my dually in the spring when people will actually buy but in the mean time i would like to build up a ht which i plan to ride. i want it to be able to do shore , dj and street and park. so help me deside on parts. here is what i have so far

frame either 243 or morphine
fork 5" sherman with 20mm axel
24/26 doubletrack wheels
243 bmx bar and stem
cranks?
tires?

so basically help me customize my ht. price 2500 or lower.

p.s. open to other fork and frame options

that sounds nice I personally would go with the .243 and not just because it is cool

duros tires last loooooooooooooooooooooong and i ride the same kind of riding as u will.

I think a letoy, with a new boxxer team, profile cranks and ring, doublewide front wheel and a mag30 rear wheel, plus shimano xt disc brakes would be awesome.

hey, I have that exact same setup for sale

get the morphine, its lighter, can you believe that?

Also, dont get .243 bars they're much to over weight, get something lighter like an easton bar. get race for NS DH cranks, doul 26 " double tracks on canadian tire wheels with XC tubes and the cheapest spokes you can get (lighter) get a nice expensive BB like a top end race face and get a xt rear break, and front if you want mtn, hope bulb front hub

thats your best bet for a light strong bike prolly under 34 pounds.

-get the .243 frame,
-bar and stem combo,
-atomlab's...
-MRP bones crank/ring set-up.
-sherman.
-profile hubs..(hell, get a profile HT, it's the best feeling HT I ever owned..)
-ruffian lock-ons
-welgo flats
-
.always go steel for HT's...who cares about weight, the thing will be uber strong...and it just makes a big difference in ride...

B-Rad · 11-04-2003, 02:50 AM

mmmm seems to be half and half. i dont might a bit of extra weight but would like to keep it light as possible.

oryx_ryder · 11-04-2003, 03:19 AM

i'd have to agree with Cheese, get the morphine

WBC · 11-04-2003, 05:30 AM

I like how Morphines ride...really stable

jive turkey · 11-04-2003, 06:53 AM

fuck'in eh!! the morphine's a great ride......your build would be sick too

KOW49 · 11-04-2003, 06:59 AM

steels gonna fell les s rigid

Rusty · 11-04-2003, 06:03 PM

Here is what I would consider, but as a Morphine owner I am biased.

Frame: Banshee Morphine
Fork: Manitou Sherman Flick
Hubs: Shimano XT Rear with 10mm thru-axle conversion
Diatech or Dimension for a 20mm front. No Formulas.
Rims: DoubleTracks are good. Alex ESD25 is another option.
Spokes/Nipples: 14g straight with brass nipples (2.0 I think)
Tubes: Kenda or Maxxis
Tires: Maxxis or Arrow
Headset: FSA Pig DH Pro
Stem: RaceFace Diablous 31.8mm clamp
Bar: RaceFace Diablous 31.8mm clamp
Seat Post: Use the one that comes with the frame
Seat: WTB Lazer V
Cassette: Shimano XT
Rear Deraileur: Shimano XT
Shifter: Shimano XT
Chain: SRAM PC69
Bottom Bracket: TruVativ GigaPipe Team DH
Cranks: FSA Pounder (cromoly)
Brakes: Hayes

buy a .243 like mine \/

Painting_of_Rebelion · 11-04-2003, 08:18 PM

Morphines look sweet, they're definately a frame that'll hold up well, but Aluminum rides like shit for HT's IMO...why not get a banshee Scratch, still have the great service it apears you get dealing with Pip...but you'll have a Steel frame that you'll soon realize is superior

plus I haven't seen any around(are they even out yet? probably no?)

Profile's HT manuals on it's won, the geometry was just dialed for me, and it'll never break(within reason)

Go steel
