A bit happy with myself, pulling 360 flat spins off a favourite jump for the first time and a particularly frightening bunny hop over a steel rail at the skate park between 2 ramps, transition jump. I don't understand "winning of the internet" ? I just posted some of the bikes I love to ride. The full custom Octane One, Zircus 2020 would have to be the best bike I've ridden surprisingly 8 th itteration of that particular frame over more than a decade. I didn't think a 26" ergonomic to ride Dirt Jumper existed, but it does !!!!!

Peace to Cyclists

Glad there are others that appreciate the fine art of Urban Assult, enjoy.

Octane One Zircus, Hope Pro 4, Spank, DT Swiss, SRAM OX Carbon, Pike Rockshox DJ, Formula Titanium, Renthal, ultra short chain stays for that easy manual, Spank Spike cockpit. Shimano flat pedals. Titanuim bolt set. Built the bike up 6 months ago. Tweaked the single speed ratio a bit and it's a highly developed 2020 rocket, stealth weapon.  Since that photo I managed to get the matching disk to the front for the rear and may go to carbon NEXTIE rims would complete a build tough enough to throw off a large dirt jump

Edit, decal and other minor updates to the now completed Octane One, 2020 Zircus

neat

whats the one with funky micro-triangle frame decals and what looks a Reba or Rev fork? 

 

I've been running Hope Pro's on Spank rims also (HT for trail duties). Pro 4s don't have the same buzz as the Pro IIs did...

That is a specialised pump track bike, full Titanium.  Rockshox SID World Cup carbon crown, carbon rims, bike weighs under 10 kg, flys around a pump track but is a little wrong for skate park

Ive 2 sets of Hope Pro 4 hubs/Spank wheels and both sound different strangely (few years apart in build)

, but ooooooh good for a freewheel

up here in QLD I can get away with minimal lube on the engagement claws, I wipe out the grease and just use a thick chain lube - zziiizzzzz!!!! 

great for crowd control on the busy riverside paths

Can I ask why Brisvegas needs less lube? Coastal city with higher rainfall & humidity on average than any other major city... I thought you'd need more.

Hope is built for UK conditions, simple n and sealed accordingly. That's what the comparison is based on. Dispute this its relatively easy to pop it all open for a lookly n clean-lube as needed

Anybody interested in buying a 2010 Pivot Mach 5, 140mm travel "all mountain" bike in high spec Shimano XT build? Shocks are adjustable travel Fox Talas RLC up front and Fox RP23 Float out back (needs a $250 repair as oil seals have gone through lack of use). Initially RRP was $7990, thinking $1000. This was just about as good as it got at the time and was awarded MTB of the year by multiple publications and websites for 2-3 years.

 

This was it as new, I've since gone to complete 1x10 speed Shimano XT drivetrain with red Raceface single chain ring and as new XT SPD pedals. I've added Thomson carbon bars and the discarded Shimano front XT and rear Sram X9 derailleur, Sram X9 front and rear shifters and XT chainrings are included. Would be lucky to have done 400km in total, lucky to be used 1-2 times a year for the last 5 years. Never had a high speed or major off requiring repairs, I don't have the kahones to go hard enough any more.

 

The frame will take a 650b conversion if the idea of 26" wheels is too old fashioned.

 

It's a bit old fashioned now with a 90mm stem but worth more than $1000 just in parts. I'll put up new photos tomorrow.
