On One "The Gimp" - What I was riding back in 2006
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
What were you guys riding back in the day? This was the final form of my bike back when I was a teenager.
One One Gimp frame
FSA pig three piece cranks
Single speed conversion
24inch Atomlab rear wheel with DMR moto
26inch Atomlab front with DMR moto digger
Manitou forks
DMR wing bars and zip grips
DMR V8 pedals
I was chasing that slack head angle before it was cool apparently, not that I knew that was even a thing back then :D
My brakes were always my feet and I only recently got a saddle in these pictures as I rode without a saddle for around 4 years prior to this.
I wish I still had this bike but sadly it moved on a long time ago now.
Thanks, I did it myself, perks of going to college learning to paint cars you could use all their paint and ovens etc.
It was a standard Fiat pink I found in the book with a yellow pearl added to the laquer. I also added a fine grade of mettalic to the laquer so you could see the mettalic metal flakes shimmering in the light, I sadly don't have a photo that shows that part off though xD
