4X Atomlab Pimp 2 4X/DJ/Street

[tanny]

Just thought I'd post my newly built 4X machine, Atomlab Pimp 2.

As I'm in Victoria and there's little to no 4X events down south it will primarily be used for dirt jumping, street and the odd BMX track bash here and there until I can get myself organised and find some races.

Weight is around 16kg, hoping to get it down a few kilos with some lighter parts, but in due time.

At the moment just looking forward to having fun with it while I work at which parts to change and when.

Cheers

* spec list to come *

was wondering what sort of wheels you got on there,
looks burly and heavy.

 

[tanny]

yeah they're pretty bulky, just something to make do for the moment. They'll be the first thing to get changed

Bike Update

Celebrated my 21st and with a bit of birthday cash finally got around to ditching the bulky, ugly looking wheelset for some Alex rims and NS hubs. Also ditched the gears and opted for a single speed setup as I've started using the bike for mostly park riding at the moment. Feels great to ride and I'm extremely happy with how it's turned out.
Final thing to change will be adding a longer braided brake hose so the bars can spin (not that I can barspin anyway)

Thanks to merc-blue for the custom wheels

Any suggestions on which braided hose to use would be greatly appreciated as I'm fairly new to hydraulic brakes.

Enjoy

looks very nice man, always have loved atomlab frames, nice geometry. Would you think about getting bmx cranks? how does running 140mm travel on it feel?

 

[tanny]

Thanks mate. Yeah the cranks will be the next thing to change. I'm currently unable to ride because of an injury so I'm still sussing out a few extra parts. Best hardtail I've owned in terms of geometry and feel. I like having that extra bit of travel on the front. Probably a fraction long for park and street but for my riding I really like them.

Been a while since I posted anything about my bike, recently fractured my radial head so couldn't ride for a while. Thought this would be a good enough excuse to update and change up my Atomlab. I'll get an updated spec list soon but for now enjoy
