1992 Orange Aluminium Elite

[clockwork davo]

As they seem to be relatively on trend at the mo and also as I found myself project less in January I managed to pick a real nice Elite frame, all polished and ready to go.
Jumping forward a couple of months and it’s all built mainly from parts that I’ve had in “stock”.
I've gone down the DX route as we all love it and as anybody the knows me I have a thing for RC30’s so there in situ Bucking the trend of having everything polished I’ve kinda gone the other way and apart from the frame nothing is polished.
I’m very pleased with the end result, hope you all enjoy

Mighty collection Davo, will fit nicely amongst the fruit bowl. Yes the Pace definitely go better than a silver alloy fork. Anyway keep up the great builds buddy
