sniks

they have none in stock to ship in time.

sniks

not so bad if you change the seat

Cash is the best prize.

Gyeswho

I think your bike is beautiful! I really love how it looks

sniks

true but there are so many bad conversions here.
take off all the parts,sell the frame.

and cash is nice but they will just spend it on drugs and booze.
and I can't support that.

sp00ki

instead of a complete, why don't you give first place (or whatever) the frame and a gift certificate to a local shop for parts?
the shop gets the business/exposure (maybe they'll cover the certificate or at least a portion), and the rider gets the parts he likes.

S.Lemon

Now now, don't go saying that every one of us would spend cash on drugs and booze. Then again, it may be a fair assessment. In all seriousness though, I think it's awesome what you're doing and having a complete bike as a prize is pretty damn fantastic.

sniks

because i have all the parts except the frame and fork.
take offs from stuff.

and I assume if they have a good bike it coulds be their beater or they might sell it to get what they want .
other wise it will be an upgrade.

if they had a kilo tt thats what i would get...i really like them as well

sniks

this is what I came up with for the giveaway.
a 29inch BMX

curiousincident

i could do with a couple fewer spacers but other than that not a bad build at all.

sniks

I was going to let the winner cut it down. to suit there needs

delicious

i like the color scheme.

sunv

why is everyone hatin on the brassknuckle. I was seriously considering getting one. But im not sure about paying $300 for a frame made in taiwan. I think its only marked up so much because it is advertised under EAI.

Is Kilo TT really better than the brassknuckle???

Jenkinsal2

I Love my frame and the fact that I wont ever have to worry about getting racked on the top tube.

Klink

G. First the Brass Knuckle. Then I run into a lovely young lady yesterday who claims to have received a free bike from you after the theft of hers. What the **** man? Are you the messiah incarnate or just attempting to outdo his generosity but with the a little more flare and suave style?

frankstoneline

Brass knuckle = aluminum, so you will want to replace the fork almost immediately. Also, the sloping top tube is fugly. I wouldnt worry about its location of origin, nothing in Italy they cant do in Taiwan. I think the argument is that you can get a decent frame, comparable to the brass knuckle for...half the price in the kilo tt and its steel. Another option, as you would probably want to replace the fork anyway is a leader 735. I think those are about 300.

Eyestrain

99% of bike frames are made in Taiwan, including $6,000 carbon fiber frames.

Eyestrain

Sniks: What size tires are on that build? I have 23s on mine and the clearance is tight, but you appear to be running something larger.

jgarcia186

nice rug, who shot the cowch.


nice build sniks

sfcrossrider

I see plenty of them getting raced at Hellyer (local velodrome). If if good enough for the track, I'm sure it's worthy of 99% of the people here. I do agree that they are priced higher than they should be, but come on it's not a total POS.

sniks

just helping out.
I have enough some don't have any so if your cool and I can help I do. however I'm just about out of spares........gave it all away.
as for the brass knuckle for the prize.......I'm just trying to keep are tiny little fixed scene alive and fun.

sniks

28s pretty tight but still a tiny bit of room
