My new Revell 250R

[Changleen]

OK, I just got done building up my new Revell - All I need to do is cut the bars down.:D :D :D

Spec:

Revell 250R 24"wheel specific frame (100% 4130)
Profile Hubs + Trailpimps 4x wheel, IRC Kujo 2.35s
2003 XT cranks and 9spd drive+e13 STS (e13 products=good :) )
T.H.E. Stem, Thompson SP, Single rear Hayes Hydro, 80mmDJIIIs

I am thinking about getting a disk for the front - but I'm gonna run this first for a bit.

Oh gosh that bike rocks!!:eek: I have seen pics of those revell frames in DIRT for awhile and they look super nice. Nice build to, looks reasonable yet really really tough! w00t!

First off, good move reducing that fork, it looked silly w/ a 5" fork. It looks good, although it should be a single speed. Yeah it's cool, but it's not as nice as my DMR Rhythm. lol. Take those gears off and you're almost there.

Yo fool, single speed is personal preferance, MANY pros run gears such as Lenosky, Chase, Berecloth (sp? Note the significant bmx background there). And why would you go around saying stuff like "its not as nice as my dmr rhythm"--to that i say "LOL!" That is just immature, and not to mention untrue.

P.S. my bike is SS and i swear by it.

No Sh#t? It's personal preference? You're a real spitfire. Why do I care what the "pros" run?

Good job with the customizing! By the way, the DMR handles like a tank compared to the handling of the Revell (even with 5" of front travel). I have ridden both and there is no comarison. Just look at the head angle & rear triangle geometry specs. SS or with gears, this baby still handles like a 24" BMX cruiser.

Very Nice ! :thumb:

Not that much customisation - I've got an 8" rotor on the front now though, and I've chopped the seatpost down by about 5", and the bars by about 2" either side. (I like narrow bars) - I've made the DJs 90mm and made em superfirm.

The 450 looks real nice too. Where didi you get that T.H.E. stuff from? I can't seem to find anyone who stocks it, I'd quite like a little pad for the stem!

try danscomp.com. They were blowing them out for $9 set.
