I haven't posted on BNA for a while (I felt like I had run out of things to say mostly). Here's a blurry photo of my last project, finished on the weekend:

Lots of cyclingdeal stuff on there (a build kit with handlebars, headset, seatpost, grips), a cyclingdeal single speed crank, cyclingdeal single speed adapter and chain tensioner on the back. the headset in the "Venzo" set did not fit so there is a correctly sized one in there in gold. Can't remember the brand (not anything good though).
Seat is a Selle turbo (reproduction). Forks are cheap Suntour jobs with a lockout (adequate for 80% of mountain biking, scary on the truly hard stuff though).
The frame is from the tip - a "quantum" aluminium job I sprayed flat black.
The wheels are Quando disk hubs (from dx.com) and Mavic rims (from
CRC - $12 each!), plus
ebay spokes. I was worried I got the spoke length calculation wrong but they worked out beautifully. The disks are "Bengal" hydros that I bought simply because the calipers and levers are gold and matched the "Venzo" bars.
rode it today to work and snapped the chain on the first big hill (did not seat the pin properly I think) so I need to get that sorted. Otherwise it's pretty neat to ride considering it's made out of stuff I had collected over 8 months of bargain hunting. The simplicity of it appeals to me (no cables!) Once I get the chain sorted I will give it a go offroad and see how it goes - not holding out any hopes for that fork in the really challenging stuff though.
