Hi guys,
I'll be joining this years ORBO with a klunker or a bomber, that i'll decide later on in the build off.
I'm starting with a Electra Jester i traded some time ago for a handle bar and a rear rack (what a fool..).
Since a Jester is also called a fool, and this bike will have no suspension what so ever. I came up with the name Fool Suspension.
The frame will need some modification. Disc brake tabs need to be added, i have these adapter but i think they cant handle the stopping power of the brakes. Also thinking of flipping the seat stays upside down to get a better flowing frame.
Parts list:
Jester frame (of course, ditch the springer).
Rigid fork (trying to get a deal on a carbon fork).
Enviolo hub rear.
Deore hub front.
Stainless steel spokes
Hydraulic disc brakes. (Tektro Auriga).
160 mm discs. (Magura MDR).
Probably a BMX style handlebar.
Tires ( a lot to choose from
).
Alloy rims ( thought they were steel But they're not).
Bmx front sprocket.
Kmc E101 chain
Been negotiating for this fork
Or this fork (the upper one).
