7 pounds of goodness :thumb:

Yeah, baby!

Happy birthday and merry Xmas.

Nice.

like christmas in july for you! sweet. where did you pick all this stuff up?

daaang...looks good. im jealous

omfg white brakes ftw!

lucky.

Very nice, how does the clamping mechanism on the grips work?

ooo...I love seeing this thread. I've got my new bike being shipped to me right now...I CAN"T WAIT!

it's like sex

Very nice!

Oy, give me my seatpost back!

Looks like an awsome set of stuff. All that would look great on my bike =).

Can't wait till my b-day, may get a similar set of stuff. Not sure the grips, or single speed kit can wait that long though, the rest of the stuff is pretty much the list of what I want to upgrade next though.

:thumb:

post pics wen your all done

Nice brakes and grips :thumb:

BTW, treasure that pic of your Sunlines; that's the last time you will see them that white :D.

Word!

Very nice, how does the clamping mechanism on the grips work?

the metal lock on is coated in rubber, thus being hidden. looks like i works like most others tho. hope the pics help...i know one is rather blurry.

Your grips are blurry...you need to return them for some sharper ones.

so i got the bug to put everything together lastnight. like all projects there were problems. 2 major and 1 minor.

problem #1 i forgot to order a freaking saddle :roflmao2:
problem #2 the prebled rear brake leaked where the hose attached to the caliper. guess i get to do my first brake bleed.

problem #3 i mounted the rear tire backwards :lol:


anyways here are a couple of pics.

Very nice.

What frame?

transition transam

What an ugly POS! (I'm terribly jealous :thumb:)


Where'd you order from and were you happy with their svc/prices?

nice and it matches the cat too!

White saddle ?

And Mentals too - - very cool! Transitions definitely deserve Mentals. Which ones are those? They look like the stainless ones but appear to be powdercoated.

And, hey, you may be OK on the brakes if the banjo just weeped a little.

OMG...I just noticed...your bike is gonna spontaneously explode!!! A v8 on a 9mm QR...OMG, OMG, OMG!!!

Nice bike, nice components, ugly PC monitor :thumb:

I'm waiting for the UPS guy right now. I hate it....

Nice bike. What saddle are you thinking about?

those pedals look like they eat shins ALL day long. looks awesome though, i need a jooooooooooooobbbb!

those pedals look like they eat shins ALL day long. looks awesome though, i need a jooooooooooooobbbb!Straight from the Syncros web site:

Replacement Pins
The replacement traction pins are the most aggressive available anywhere.
Leg armor is required equipment with these pins. Available in two lengths the
pins are soccer cleat style and are replaced using a 6mm wrench (the same
as your disc brakes). Don't slip a pedal without armor, these things will take meat. No joke.

"take meat..." Thats awesome.

OT, kinda: UPS guy just came for me. I love getting new stuff, especially when its from Pauls

where do some of you order parts from? or just a list of good places could help me out a bit.

if i remember right syncros used to make a cro-mo version and a stainless version with the replaceable pins, this was about 4 or 5 years back. not sure though. but yes, they are powdercoated.



Where'd you order from and were you happy with their svc/prices?

ordered from http://www.ride-this.com (http://www.ride-this.com/). 1 or 2 dollar difference from pricepoint, but with free shipping and no california sales tax. and yes very happy with service.

do they ever. one day i will have to post a pic of my shins from the day i first got them. i didnt heed the warning sticker that came inside the box printed in bold on bright red paper that read "WARNING: SHIN GUARDS REQUIRED!"


What saddle are you thinking about?

i have two in mind right now
syncros AM in white
and the sdg bel air RL also in white.

hope that answers most questions. now i have to get back to work.:innocent:

:roflmao2::roflmao2::roflmao2:

yep this bike spontaneously exploded too

it had v8 front and rear...course they were only mx2's :rolleyes:

You are totally skroo'd! Surprised the HT didn't snap off on that one. You are flirting with disaster, man. I hope you have life insurance. You are dancin' with the devil...tempting fate. That thing's gonna kick the bucket.


'Nuff cliches.

I could only wish for UPS here,.....

Nice stuff!
