Great build, especially given how busy you are with young children. I have a 4 year old and I find that challenging enough (in a good way) anyway look forward to the studio pics!

Top marks for a fantastic build, loving the bike, absolutely astounding the detail that has gone into it.

Cheers cherrybomb - I'm planning 4 retro builds this year. Optimistic? - perhaps, but if I continue at my current rate….They'll be done in 24 years time!!

Re: Re:

What's the yellow bottle cage in this pic?

They look like Specialized Comp cages to me, I have a few but not in yellow.

I really love this model and you've done a stellar job.*








*even if it is screaming for a yellow saddle
