Wondering, can you lay your finger on a pic of this pink splatter scheme and post it? Intrigued.

Fricking ouch! Saw a guy jump a red light once. Straight into side front wing of a car that was entitled to pull out. Nuts and pubis smashed - I bet his forks could have looked like that if I'd been able see through my tears of mirth

That base colour is really nice on its own Then what you've done with it is awesome - I think it's great, really great. Enjoy riding it!

Bargain - looks like it's got measles though poor thing! Once the rusts's gone some sort of car wax could help keep the rust at bay? It'd turn my head in the street - P7 with F7 forks - coool

Agreed - a well set up canti set-up is excellent. I've not done much off-roading, but canti's are surely 'enough'? They need fettling as the pads wear but this is only more tiresome on a commuter with heavier use - this is Retrobike - (quite) a lot of the talk is about bikes that get much less...

Lovely, just lovely. Now I want pistachio ice cream for dessert.

I'm 98.542% sure I spaced-down an XT rear hub to 130mm to fit her indoors' Gemini - it was a number of years ago, but pretty sure.

Erm, I hope that's not a euphemism, but yes! Same colourscheme - £25 as F&F maybe 12 years ago off ebay. Built it up, tis a really nice frame that she's enjoyed on shortish tours and as a 'Sunday' bike to do a few miles to a country pub. I intermittently remember to search for a big Gemini in...

Bright 'camo' bar tape. Better, silver cantis like DX. The stem's a lump so something similar, but lighter. For me it'd be done apart from maybe new tyres which'd be a tough choice. Or pass it on - to me :D The now wife's example in the she shed started as a bare F&F. It accepted lots of...

Everso sorry Jimmy, Cloverleaf snagged them :(

Did you get the forks? Going threaded?

Aaaah! Missed it was 'road' section! D'oh! Didn't notice the 'negative' either! My fault for 'helping' when eyes barely open. I shall shut up now...

Kona Velocity suit - quite freely available? You don't mention quill diameter - key to your search.

I'll give @Jimmy oldskool until Thursday morning - he showed interest but hasn't said anything further. Then they're all yours.

Looks great!
