This bike brings back some memories!! When I worked in Chesil Cycles in Winchester I remember the Gary Fisher Rep popping in with a CR7, Red main frame with a black rear triangle to show off. I asked to go out on it and he said yes, to my surprise, he obviously hadnt got wind of my reputation...

drcarlos is spot on, i had 1 friend with the Avanti (his parents had too much money!!) and another friend had an Appalachian (his parents didnt have as much money!!) Both bikes weren't too bad if a bit on the heavy side.

Re: . I remember GA Cycles, didnt use it much but remember them being a big Orange Dealer? Stuart

There's no child seat on this bad boy!! Picked up the cranks earlier and they look great in white.

Quick update, had a good look at the frame and it looks sweeeeeet. A couple of tiny tiny marks but nothing major and it cost £35 for shot blasting and powder coating. Turned it around in 2 days and did my cranks for free, picking them up in the morning. All in all not bad and it has...

I used to shop at Chesil Cycles in Winchester and then went on to work in there whilst at college, ended up with some proper cool bikes and stuff. I used to also use Hargroves Cycles which was on City Road, I believe that is still there albeit on the other side of the road where a garage used to...

That is absolutely stunning and my dream bike. One day I shall have one!! The closest I got to one was a Rascal BITD. Stuart

Just dropped the frame, forks and crank arms to be shot blasted and powder coated at Washford Finishings in Redditch. It will be ready to pick up on Thursday morning so I will let you all know what it is like and try and post pictures in the evening. Stuart

If it looks anything like the image in my head it should look quite cool. That will be my retro fix anyway then i need to work on my boss to let me take advantage of the Bike to Work Scheme and spend a grand on something a bit more modern!! Not sure what though, i like the look of the Charge...

Getting excited now, frame is ready for shotblasting and powdercoating. Hopefully next week!! I have removed the pannier/mudguard eyes from the dropouts, removed the top tube cable guide and noodle around the seatpost as i am running v-brakes. It will be powdercoated in glacier white with...

I know we are all used to seeing them on the forum but SYN-CROSSIS' 1990 Klein Attitude is just awesome and exactly what i dreamed of BITD...........and secretly still do!! Stuart

I too am interested but like our man said above post a price and we will go from there.

Cool, I used to have a Rascal in the same colours. Mine was light fully kitted, that must be a right featherweight?? Stuart

Flippin Eck.....Flashback!! The CFR-2 was my first "proper" road bike and was incredible i remember hitting 53mph going into Stockbridge in Hampshire years ago. It was soooooo fast. Such Good Memories and i cant even remember why i got rid of it!!

Hi I have recently dismantled my mountain bike in preparation for a good powdercoating however i dont have the Shimano Tool required to remove the normal sealed Shimano bottom bracket. Would anyone be kind enough to lend one to me to use and return once finished with? I have checked out...
