    Mystery E-Stay Bike

    Scored it from the tip shop for $4.00 with LX cranks whilst looking for a Sturmey Archer left hand nut (which I ended up getting off ebay uk and my friend Caroline posted it here, now my Kona has a two speed S2 hub from '68 ).

    Diamondback Apex help

    I had the SE version of this which came with a Rock Shox indy fork (not great). Rigid rules anyhow I would keep it that way. Should be a double butted true temper frame with snake stays. 'twas a good ride.

    1991 scott pro evolution (in paint)

    E-stays are cool, like the colours but would have laid them out in traditional scott fashion me-self. Making me think the rat look for my e-stay project may not be the one. Looking forward to seeing this built up! Still wish I had won that evolution on evil bay back in 2007 when I was...

    Hei Hei inspiration required please

    While I could choose to live on the street and have a titanium bike. I do not rate my chances of holding onto said bike while on the streets; not to mention where would I store my other 4 bikes.
