Daddy Longlegs Redux 9
Parts
General Info
I decided that I needed to fully modernize my G1 Mardi Gras Edition hyperbike and turn it into a bike park monster. I started by adding the lovely and supple EXT VAIA to replace a 40 that I never got along with. I added the longest CS mutators which pushed the CS length to 463mm. To make everything work out geo-wise, I needed custom 30mm SS mutators and, while I was at it, added a tiny fucking water bottle cage mount. I believe the hype about drivetrain suspension interference, so I took a 16t cog and ground it round, giving me a neutral. Coming down the cassette from the 18t, it shifts fine; going up form the 14t, since there are no ramps, I have to soft pedal or overshift and come back to the neutral. Front fender is Vision Velo, rear is Crud, customized. It has custom Cobra Ti barend caps, a custom GroundUp Speedshop Ti bar (give Eric a call) and a custom carbon DT guard. It has a bell because they keep people from fearing MTBers, supporting new trail creation. Numbers: 62.5* HTA; 76* STA; 526mm Reach; 685mm Stack; 352mm BB height; 463mm CS; 1372mm WB.
