Wombat Check

*CRUST BIKES* wombat (M/Custom Paint)

Custom painted by Cook Paint Works. The owner could ride both medium or large frame size, but went with medium.

Sage-ish green with yellow classic Wombat logo. It turned out to be a lovely and sort of a nostalgic color scheme.

This build by Tani was definitely an inspiration.

Nitto Jam-Bars of course.

The customer saw Samba’s Wombat build and realized that they needed the Jam-Bars for their own build.

These bars are great because you can angle it up for a shreddy feel, or you can face it close to horizontal for a relaxed position.

Nice chrome polish to add a cruisy vibe.

Other than the bars being polished, we used some more polished parts to put together this bike.

Velocity Cliffhanger rims. Pretty much the only option for a Wombat build, but I love it and so did the owner.

Paul Disc Word Hub from the Straggler they were originally riding.

Max also had a disc hub on his Joe Appaloosa. I asked him why and he told me that he had a plan of building an MTB, but didn’t happen for multiple reasons, but he already had bought the hub, so we used it on the Appaloosa build. I think using disc hubs on rim brake bike has to have some kind of reason like this. Like, it’s lame if you purposely use them.

More polished bits.
I love that Paul makes these cool adjusters with sick colors.

Shimano DXR V-brakes, which were originally BMX racing brakes. These are the only V-brakes from Shimano that are polished finish, but they are now discontinued. What a shame.

I like swapping the brake shoes to Kool Stop Thinlines.
