RAM

General Post your ride
1

After riding my steamroller for about 18months I started to feel it was a bit small, so I sold it to a friend in Canberra and then started looking for another project. I had thoughts of getting an Apollo Record, but couldn’t get one in a size I was happy with so I ended up buying this ram frame a month or two ago.

Frame and fork: RAM 64cm*58cm.
Wheels: 36h Gran Compe laced to Velocity Aeroheads with DT spokes.
Cranks: Sugino75 165mm with an Alien 46t chainring that I got in a swap.
Stem and bars: 110mm technomic stem with Azonic risers and Fly tubo grips.
Saddle and post: Rolls and cheapo seatpost which hopefully I can replace with a silver Thomson if I find one for a bargain.
Tyres: Gatorskin in the front and a $15 tyre from cyclic. This tyre slides really well, but is pretty useless for slowing down.

Im running a 46*19 ratio, which is really cruisy, probably a little too much but ill see how it goes…

I’m pretty happy with how it rides, its a lot more solid than I expected.

Any questions, let me know.

Thanks.

i stole my sisters front wheel from her mountain bike and then put a 1.1inch stelvio on it so i can do bar spins out the front of my house, and then put my real front wheel on for anything else.
my bike rides really bad with this front wheel and im happy i didnt spend alot of money on a 650!
