great build mate! I know that you have a blb lo-pro and i am going to be getting either a leader 722 heritage lo or a blb lo-pro, what would you reccomend to me for casual riding?

Well this one is the "normal" version, not the lo-pro so it's hard to say. I allways liked to ride this one more than the blb, although ever since the beginning i've had problems with a noisy chain on this one. I'm not sure if this frame is twisted somehow or what the problem is since everything else seems to be fine and i've tried several different setups. The blb felt like its a bit better quality even if it's a cheap frame but maybe it's just me. Don't know. I'm thinking of doing a frame swap in the near future on this one.

Ok is the blbl really heavy? How much does the frame and fork weigh?
Posted over 10 years ago
Can't really remember, the full setup was about 8kg and the wheels were about 1kg/wheel (i didnt use the original fork or headset)

Wicked paint, solid build, and a lattice chainring to top it off. You've killed it bro :D
