Won't be long now I promise!

Chainrings turned up while I was away and apart from realising I need the little plastic cable guide for under the bottom bracket, it's ready to be built! Pics soon......

Looking forward to it! It's a got a 'Terminator' sort of look to me.

NICE

Nice job from massahcusettes U.S.A. I remember building those when I was a bike shop mechanic all through the 90's. I moved to southern California and was the head mechanic at the Mountain Bike Warehouse. All we built were northern cali bikes. It was the ano peak of mtn biking. Bikes went out doors blinging with anodized trends. I was in my glory!!!!! NICE BIKE friend make sure and ride it like it was meant.

Many thanks! All but a couple of finishing touches (and changing cranks for the 3rd time it's done.... I'm hoping I'll have some decent finished pics up in about a week..... Though I've been saying that for weeks! lol.

Hey Shawn,

Ah cool! Look forward to seeing it but have quite a few pics of yours saved when I was looking at getting the frame painted .... I'm literally just awaiting new cranks and it'll be done.... Finally!

Wow this is really something special. I often see a chap riding one of those sporty mopeds across my neigbourhood and he's had all the plastic body panels Spectrachromed (I was familiar with the process but never knew the name ) It's quite a sight seeing that thing in direct sunlight. Looking forward to seeing it built up!
