Turnbuckle

good way to fuck up a legendary frame!

Sparks

Thanks to Todd n Flip @ Albes, Mike Collins @ Snafu, Tony D @ Haro, Scot Towne, and Sean Miksys. You guys make this shit possible.


ps. No, your retarted.

my frame weighs 5lbs and I havent chopped it up and never will!

flip @ albe's

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

Speaking as a Profile Racing representative, DO NOT DO THIS TO YOUR PROFILE HUBS. YOU WILL DAMAGE THEM. Sparks is clearly a special induvidual with special skills. You, on the other hand, are not. The cnc work on the rear hub in particular is dangerously close to the drive side bearing seat, so it wouldn't surprise me if the drive side hub flange tears off it eventually. Obviously, any warranty on any part is null and void as soon as you take any cutting tool to it. Save yourself a lot of headaches and potentially serious bodily damage and do not modify any bicycle part unless you're an engineer or a machinist yourself.

james

and there was me thinking profiles warranty was null and void as soon as you took the part out the box...

pip

ur tying two granny knots in a loop and it aint happening

Dan

Actually you are retarded.

Maybe you should go to school, learn some things, then come back.

that's my S3,i've cut the toptube (who needs it?),now i have a lot of room for whips etc..

sparks

gob- we actually split the first rear hub in half on the lathe, got too close to that driver ring, gotta new hub and completely avoided that part, you can still see the profile style machining in the picture, as far as on the driver side.

if your reading this, EVERYONE agrees that this is how a profile hub should look. get on it.


ps. no, your retarted.

todd...

i remember just a few years ago when everyone was chopping their seven inch high bars down to twenty inches wide because it helped with bar spin tricks, now all those same people are running eight and a quarter rise bars. before any of you start with the shit talking stop and think about what your own set up may be like six months from now. nutty things like this can either be the start of a trend or a dumb mistake, only time will tell. and i'll bet if de-tubing your frame starts showing up more often each and every one of you will have the ol' hack saw out faster than Dave Mirra can cash an Oxy check.

^^^^ NO

What is the Weight?

You should put one of those spring loaded toilet paper thingies from the bathroom in the open seat tube space and mount up a roll of T.P.

That would look sweet.

Kieran

fuck everyone else that is sick

Dan

YOU'RE RETARDED.

MOTHERFUCKING GRAMMAR.

pee sha

It's great to see function and common sense thrown to the curb just to save a couple grams. Next you should get out the power drill and put holes in everything, save ya a gram or so.

What a joke...

JASPER

WHAT A BUNCH OF HATERS. I'VE RODE TWICE AT TRP WITH HIM ONE OF THE TIMES WE PULLED OUT A CINDER BLOCK AND A X-GAMES RAMP AND HAD A JUMP CONTEST WHICH HE ENTERED EVERYTHING SEEMS TO HOLD UP FINE PEOPLE SAID EASTERN WAS STUPID AT FIRST WHEN THEY WANTED TO PUT CUT OUTS IN A FRAME LOOK AT THEM NOW EVERY ONE RIDES THOSE REAPERS. WAY TO KEEP IT FRESH SPARKS! DON'T LISTEN TO THE HATE.KEEP SHREDIN! ALSO ARE YOU HAVING A HALLOWEEN PARTY KEEP US POSTED

jc

sparks=vampier

creeden

frames are geometrically designed to support and transfer engery through the frame. that shits going to fold.

conniewest

i dont even know what to say about this thing all i know is that frame doesnt look safe at all but if it works out after a couple months its gunna be the new thing for everyone out there trying to save a couple ounces i shouldnt be talking though with a 21 pound bike haha
