Maintenance on my bike- Pics!!!
I dont have a question, just thought i'd share these pics with you!
Well seeing as i have been doing some maintenace on my bike (changing chainring and adding spacers to my chain device) and thought i might as well take some photos. And just so you know, the person who is in some of the pictures is not me!
The pics are of my chain device in half, my crank arm/chainring/pedal, my bike with no rear shock (blew it the other day
and is getting rebuilt
) and my bike and the tools i was using.

Glad to sse you don't have one of those goofy multi-chainring bikes.
Free your derailler, your @$$ will follow I say. How's the tensioner/ guard working for ya? You mention spacers?
I was going to pick up a unit similar in design to replace my hand-built one- which is O.K..but only lower and I can only jump while in lower gears...
Schweeet curvy seattube> can you post an upright assembled pic of what looks like a kind of bike I might like?
Don't know if I know what a Craftw- is?

Yo Anthonaut, you blew your shock while I was away, that's not fair... What did you do it on? Serioussly bad luck.
BTW I'm 90% sure I'm getting the Goose.

Yeah i was up at fox creek (See Nathan Rennie's Helmet cam section in NWD5- Oh wait, it isnt out yet
) And just from doing various drops etc. it blew. I didnt even realise until i got home!
Here is a pic of the complete bike and yes, it is a Craftworks FRM125
Yeah, i like the curvy seat tube too- Definately makes the bike more recognisable and original.

I needed some spacers to move both plates outward because my new chainring is much beefier than my old one. (Kinda hard to explain)

No need to explain: you provided pics! Looks like a 'beefy' ring.
The new frames on the site don't have that cool s tube...sucks!
I like the look of yours better. I have got a good idea on how to gusset my headtube from the ones on your bike.
Thanks for posting ride side up, me thinks we want one.
