mmm.... custard!

This has inspired me to create a new word: elastomustard.

Behold, ye, and be amazed.

Hey SB,

That is looking nice. The polished bit compliment the white.

Neat, those are the gold ones.

Skinnyboy · « **Reply #172 on:** April 28, 2010, 01:19:40 am »

good stuff, although i literally just found them in my box of stuff and shit! Was looking for my 6mm allen key and there they were. Just scored a brand new with tags Flite Titanium saddle for 25 dollars. Reason it was so cheap was the guy bought a load of them in a two tone blue and red and had them dyed black by some upholstery place. He reckons the dye comes off after about 10 or so rides so we'll see, but for 25 notes i couldn't resist.

Ten rides with old shorts on then, or mebbe you can give them a good buff to get rid..............$25 iis about £16-ish!! Good deal

Skinnyboy · « **Reply #174 on:** April 28, 2010, 02:01:24 am »

I might go bare back for 10 rides hahaha let nature take its course.

Lysander · « **Reply #175 on:** April 28, 2010, 02:11:36 am »

You'd be shunned by the Proflex community.........blackballed, even!!

Skinnyboy · « **Reply #176 on:** April 28, 2010, 02:44:42 am »

Blackballed you say

I'll just apply a ControlTech or Syncros decal to the old fella and no one would spot it straight away.

edit for pics..

Lysander · « **Reply #177 on:** April 28, 2010, 07:23:53 am »

I've not seen that embossed stylee before- smart, but understated.....

Hi all. I'm Audun, living in Norway. New to this forum. Was pleased to see there's still a bunch more riders than me that still ride these old beauties ^_^
Sooo, just thought I'd add my baby here aswell, a slightly modified '97 Beast

PS: I'm in need of a new rear shock, preferrably NR-4 or if anyone know if the Fusion-X shocks are available for the x57 frame?

Welcome TP,

The problem we all have is the cone end at the strut shock mount. Some of us has made adapters for shocks like Fusion-X, Manitou, Fox, and such. J6Noleen still sells the NR-4, and Risse makes a really good line of rear shocks with the cone end.

You came to the right place.
