Finally, I have a long, very low, seatless bike! Thanks to Adam who put up with me turning up at Tarty without warning, four days in a row to get this beast sorted, but its finally done.

No, the whole rim is CNC'd I think. Theyre just grooves in the top of the rim :)

Nice ride....The rim isn't CNC'ed. It just thinner in the silver area of the rim to save weight.

Those new Gu's look nice with there super low frames:naughty:

Beautiful man! I've always loved the typhoon look, especially in black. It's just so damn stealthy!

more infos on that tensile dual bash please?!
Can it be fitted to any threaded crank? does it cover a 20t cog?

Yes, it can fit a 22 tooth if needs be aswell. The silver bit around the edge can be rotated, so when you've fucked one part up, you can spin it round and have a fresh bit to go at :)
