Finally its finished ! It’s surprising how quickly 9 months can pass! I had planned to get the bike finished and delivered to Tom before the end of summer 2013 but with a monumental amount of work project pressure and client deadlines to meet, it simply didn’t happen. Then came the rain, then...

Many thanks for the kind words ... Yes it's great to have been able to use a bike that would otherwise have been thrown away. I know the angles are a bit relaxed, but in general the result is very pleasing. You're right about quality time... I shared some of that with Tom for sure. I designed...

Pic of the fork crown Shaun.... Yes - hoping to see my kids again soon but I'll probably have to go back into court to get a contact order variation.... Sadly its a question of money and time... Such is life... if you're a Father and want to fight to see your children in a broken relationship...

Thanks Shaun... Yes it was quite a lot of work but enjoyable ! I'll put some photos of the fork crown up a little later. I was restricted to 8 pics on the initial post but hopefully I can add more in a reply., Thanks for the kind comments! :)

@lewisfoto... Yes it's running a fixed gear on a much modified road hub with a left threaded lock ring. We will run a 'bail out' brake as well... Don't worry :-) If Tom doesn't get on with the fixed gear then he can always change to a single freewheel, but he was really keen to have a fixed...

Nearly finished the track bike that I began building with my eldest son Tom. It was for Tom’s 14th Birthday a couple of months back, so we over ran on the time schedule a little! It’s been a bit of a slow project because of restricted contact due to an extremely unfair family Court judgement...

I meant to add... That I did contact the seller to ask for further photos to include the BB and other significant areas, but I didn't get a single reply !!! Strange... !

Many thanks for the friendly and very swift help. I didn't bid and in the end nobody else did either. I'm happy to have avoided it now and feel very pleased with myself for joining this forum just a few days ago, as I've already benefited greatly from help and sound views of other members here...

Ive been watching this Colnago Super frame on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330873257181?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 The thing is, Id like to find a good Colnago frame or complete bike, but sadly I dont have any real knowledge of these frames/bikes yet, but there are a...

That's brilliant Shaun..! I had no idea about this. Very many thanks !

I've just joined this forum having recently acquired a Poyner Road bike frame. It is numbered L61 on the underside of the bottom bracket. I was a keen cyclist as a teenager in the 1980's but never had anything really special - only my own hand built bike for which I made the frame in my Fathers...
