thanks mate,
yeah it did take a bit of time,
but i'm a stay at home dad at the moment, so it gave me something to do when i had free time.
this was just a cheap bike that i built up, it went pretty well for what it was.
those frames were known for cracking and even snapping in half, but this one will be good for quite some time yet.
it is my current avatar pic too.

if you want to give reps, there is a star button at the bottom left of each post
click on that and you can approve, or disapprove of the persons' post, and add comments too.
i usually add my username to the reps i give so the receiver can see who it came from.

below your avatar/username at the top left of the page, you will see a settings link, click on that and you will see if anyone have given you reps, or reps you have given.

ok cheers,
that is the thread rating.

see the little star in the l/h bottom corner of each persons post, that is the rep button.


cheers Russ,
yeah i have the same problem, you need to spread the reps out over a heap of people.

 

[TinyFennell]

**** that's looking better already

 

[stoozo]

That is certainly the same frame...not sure if its the same metal but its from the same mold patterns. I see you solved the problem with reaching the top rear shock bolt too....Looks good!

 

[my67xr]

yeah it was very strong when i finished it.
and i moved everything around so it suited me,
most of the critical bolts were replaced with Socket Head 12.9 Unbreako bolts, Nyloc Nuts, and some stainless bolts/nuts/screws where i could.


i wonder how it is going now ?

 

[GooseMan]

Yeah, hope the guy treats it well.

 

[stoozo]

Yeah looked like a solid custom build mate, nice job....There was another Orion on gumtree the other day in Gawler....$300 the newer stronger (looking) frame too....I think next bike will be a second hand job! I forgot how much I enjoying wrenching and learning new things!!!!!
