From you, never. I was hoping maybe some from the new guy lol

Ps...Navy guys don't believe in sympathy, they believe in the 6 "P"s instead...lol.
"Proper Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance"...lol.

Hahaha. Truth.
My very first build was in 1985.
I used an old Univega and married her to a Husquarvana for a high school mechanics class.
My last build was a felt faker (seen below).
My newest ride is a phatmoto which I am in the process of modifying.
It was nice pulling out and whipping it together in about an hour.
I am hungry for a real project… something steel.
To be honest the Phatmoto is a $700 lesson in frame engineering.
For an aluminum frame it’s the best that’s out there mass production wise.

I notice your seat is quite similar to mine...lol.

How much of that and what in particular did you have to do to modify or re-engineer, as part of your "$700 lesson" ???...lol...lol.

Lmao…

• The frame the jack shaft and the rear wheel build are great.
• The wheels themselves are sketchy. I haven’t ever seen a Bike rim with visible seams.
• Good hub builds with sealed bearings.
• Decent hydraulic brakes with phatmoto branding.
• Cheap oil shocks
• Cheap handlebars, stem, pedals, seat

It’s a great out of the box option.
I probably am going to spend another $500 on better quality parts. Hehe…probably

pneumatic brakes

Air brakes???

 

[DAMIEN1307]

I think you really mean hydraulic brakes...Right???

lol.. yeah hydraulic. I was thinking about the air shocks I just installed to replace the cheap oil shocks that came with it.
Or probably it’s the medical grade
