Nice, you've inspired me to raid the spares box and do the same.

Kept it under 40 quid?

Yes I was around £37 give or take a few pence .. Obviously all the other parts I had surplus(served there time)


Really enjoyed the penny pinching rather than blowing lots of cash I'd never get back

Fixed gear tourer maybe? Carlton?

Fixed gear tourer sounds like real hard work to me..

Nice bike Colin, I'm putting a parts bin ss/fx special together currently as well. What gear are you running there out of interest.

Hope you're well, not been on here for ages due to family, work etc. Do you still have the TCR btw?

Thanks 42x16 as that's all I had in parts bin .. Good for nipping around on and fine on lumps too

I'm good how's you ? Culled a few bikes(as you do) but TCR still used regular now my winter bike with cheaper parts on
