Thought I would post up some pictures of my Dale project.
This will be my first start to finish project (dam you retrobike, dam you to hell :twisted: ). This is a 1994 Killer Vwhich was orange originally but has been 95% stripped already.
It had a crack issue which has now been welded, will post some pics tomorrow, pretty goo job, thanks for the referral Kaiser
.
This is going to be my singlespeed for the SSUK this year and as we are all in the grip of financial Armageddon I decided to keep the budget tight. All in all I have spent about £165 (and a box of beer). The bike won't be bling but going for the polished Al and black components to keep it clean and simple. I was going to go for the retrobike-period-correct-anal retentive build but have to admit that this is just not me. I'm to impatient and don't like spending the money, a bargain hunter so to speak. :roll:
The next step is to get the last bits of paint off and then polish. I can then go for it as I have most of the bits albeit I have some mary bars coming (told you I don't do it properly).
Will keep you posted of my progress, BTW fitted my first bottom bracket last night, now can fully strip and rebuild which is nowt to shout about but I was clueless about anything mechanical last year, me and Zinn have been learning as we go along
