I have 1 Orange Patriot Bicycle..
The frame..its a 15.45" slut of a yoke..the kind of girl who will perform oral sex on you and hold your chips for you at the same time..
Shes also been rode so much her BB shell is a fistula..dont google that ..its horrible !
the wheels..
1 is a new Hope with an 819 rim..the spokes are made out of metal stuff..same as the nipples.
thats the front one..its also Blue.
The rear one is also a hope but a goldy one..a reconditioned one that Alfie gave me and James O Carrol fixed up..
the rim is also an 819 but with a twist..its got a crack in it..so I fixed that with some grey Duct tape..still holding air..
the Drive train is XT..because why the fook would you bother with anything else unless you were some kind of complete idiot..
the Chain is a KMC..very fooking nice and silvery..
anyway..the BB is held in by Araldite because the threads on the drive side have been worn off..
the shifters XT..why would you insult the Gods with anything else !
the brakes..jesus,,they are first generation Deore Disc brakes..they must me 100 years old, still working perfect..
the saddle is a camo Job I got off Al in the Bike rack, the bars are Nukeproof Warhead jobs I got of Michael Cowan..
the Stem a felt Job i found
the grips..fooked if I can remember
the tyres are Schwalbe Fat Albert 2.4 tubeless
The Forks are Marzocchi jobs,,the lock down to 100 but expand to 160 in anger..
The price..Priceless...
I cannot express how much I love riding this piece of history..
