The new Squish Cycle (and the old dog)

FullMonty · 11-21-2003, 02:09 AM

Finally took some recent pix of my HT, and the first pictures of the big bad squish, my Launch.

Enjoy...

Unfortunately, I realize now that the HT is set up really stupid for actual riding. Way too tall in the front. I need to get some shorter bars ~2" rise or something, and a bigger frame. I'm thinking an '04 16" or bigger Sasquatch frame or something. I'll think about fixing it this summer maybe.

was it called monocock because the rider is one big cock?

or is it monocoque

FullMonty · 11-21-2003, 02:35 AM

I know it's monocoque, that's why I put it in quotes...

I suppose you could say I HAVE one big cock...

Indeed... I have a Brodie house brand stem on there, so I have to cover up the "b" with something. I thought, what better than one of my big time pimpin' B-Rockers stickers?!

Heh, the photo kinda hides the fact that there's the red markings on the tubing. That's what makes 'em look pretty ghetto, but they work great, I can tell you that. They are a BikeZone specialty.

I actually put the decals on there, but I made sure there was extra room for others on the guards. One nice thing about having the big 'ol Norco tin can frame is there is plenty of room for decals.

Nice

...before swapping HT frames....try a 1" rise bar and a 25mm longer stem. (borrow if you can before spending)
Trust me

I got this stem cheap ($40) because it was less rise than my previous stem. I really don't want to be spending money on the HT right now, as I still have the dually to pay the 'rents off for. I actually have an old 1.5" rise bar in the garage, I should slap it on just to see if I like it better.

Cool. Nice looking fleet.

You do realize that you have 2 horribly ugly chunks of what looks like cut up pop bottle or something stuck to your forks? Take em off, they are only stanchions and they can be repaired if you scratch them (which you probably wont).
