Title: Nice Hybrid.....
Post by: mx250 on January 09, 2011, 05:16:19 pm
.......not so sure about the AT1 front hub/brake ::) (or is that  a complete AT1 front end?)

I wouldn't vouch for the handling. :P

OMG - surely a DT1/RT1 would be a far better donor bike!?
Maybe the front end from the YDS that donated its rear wheel would also be a good idea?

First pic makes it look like a Photoshop...

Looks like the wheel would need to be dead straight for the suspension to work or is that my eyes

I don't get it.
Nor do I Ross (especially putting on absolutely the worst front end imaginable - I would assume it's there to push the thing around), but each to their own. But you admire have to admire the effort and detail.

You wouldnt need a front brake...just throw it down 3 gears....that'll pull you up quicker than the brakes.

Its the original front end for the bike - its a lack of an upgrade rather than a specific decision.
