Nice Hybrid.....
« 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...

The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

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.
