DB of the Month - May entries

[sparky]

Here we go then, put the word out and get those entries in.

Come on peeps, I don't want to have to enter a crankset.

[Juju]

The frustration is that despite having 3 in my flat, and one at Redhill post office, if the tracking from Japan is correct, none of mine are yet worthy of entry....

All the other previous winners are of such a high standard, that I'd jsut be demeaning the competition....

*but* if you want an entry to start the ball rolling, before I lose to a Leary Turbo crankset, how about the Silver Streak, as its my rider, so its actually being used. I reserve the right to add decals and re photograph it before the end of the competition.....

Well, I'm not voting for mine when I see an example like that.

Those cranks are what I fitted to my SS bitd. Love them and want some myself! Haro plate too!

I suppose the *only* criticism I'd make is that if I were building it for a child, I'd add a front brake for safety sake. But then I work in insurance, can you tell?

[CK47]

its got a front brake...
...the old foot between the fork and the wheel trick.

Never let me down as a kid

Scotty, that's a stunner Mini Pro, you don't see many complete and the Larger size forks seem to go really well, something I didn't expect. Yeah Juju, those cranks are georgous and I'm glad I've stopped building because they were on my shopping list.
