heres mine:

possibly the worlds most sketchy homemade BC wheel (made from some rusted old metal plates i found in the garage welded together and the front wheel of my old BMX). it seems to work well enough though, and i haven't managed to break it yet.

Stock 07 KH 20

Nimbus 24" Muni
- was repainted ages ago, now all scratched off
- KH moment hub
- Kh Moment cranks 150mm
- homemade V brake mounts welded on
- standard shimano mechanical v brakes
- welded on mount for the brake lever
- custom splashes of dirt compliments of all the mud on the trail this morning

Just finished painting my uni! It's a Nimbus 29" ISIS. Took me about 8 days. 3 Coats of primer, four coats white, four coats black, four coats clearcoat. I used good quality spray-paint, so I guess the final test will be to see if it holds up. I waited between coats for it to dry completely, so I hope that helps.

Yes, I know there's a smudge on the crown. It's not perfect, but neither am I.








Tell me what you guys think!

Don't worry mine is the same if not worse than yours.... but look on the bright side, if you get a new one, it will look fantastic compared to the old one!

Beautiful! You have to tell us how that paint is holding up after you ridden it a bit. I have heard that spray paint never last very long.

Scott Lynch: That muni seems to get ridden! Good to see a muni which is not just standing in the living room being shiny, but is really getting muddy.

You should put black bumper&handle on your nimbus/KH. I think it looks horrible with the yellow ones.
