1995 Raleigh Torus with a little bit of anodising.

[enc]

I frequent one or two car forums... AlwYs makes me laugh when members announce a build project that usually amounts to sticking some window tints and after market rims on their latest purchase ...now this IS a build !! Top work fella

So Chris... The sixty four thousand dollar question

Will it be ready for tomorrows show ?

You know how I feel about 3DV, so it goes without saying the cameras packed, batteries.charged and the SD card is empty

Re:

dolls?

The forks are currently in the lathe.
I'm running quite behind.

The Ridgeback is ready though!

I must say, the pure attention to detail and effort going into this build is phenomenal! The anodizing is brilliant!
Can't wait to see it finished .

I dunno i still think just plain polished would of looked better even though they do look good but i guess we will see whether you've done the right thing when the forks are completed ..

Surely that is a polished finish, just so dam polished it looks like a mirror

Yes it is a polished finish but what i meant to say was an none anodised polished finish so my fault for not explaining my point fully :facepalm: .

Thanks Rampage for explainig better regarding the polishing and by the way the Cassette spacers,QR's,X-Lite seatclamp with seal are looking amazing and i gotta admire the cassette spacers as they'll look really trick when they are fitted and as for the seal on the seat clamp that's a real neat and very useful idea .

The skewers i love and i'd like to have similar on mine some time in the future and those hand grips do look comfy and i have to admit that if it weren't for the purple locking rings
they would look a little too plain for my liking but overall i think this bike will look totally wkd when it's fully assembled which in all honesty i just can't wait to see it ..
