Definitely not one for the purists....my re-acquired white one just about ready - different tyres on the way and ideally needs a new cassette. I'd forgotten quite how well it rides.





Front guard fits much more securely having drilled the UGLI crown right the way through!

Well done mate that's looking alot more like it and tbh i wasn't so sure at 1st about a plain looking frame but i take it back regarding any doubt's that i had as it's turned out really well ..

Thank you! At least white will ensure that I keep it clean! Would look better with black rims I think, but that can wait.

The white tends to show off the lines of the frame pretty well imo and maybe keep the wheels as they are and put black walled tyres on .

Thanks! I don't like two tone tyres any way - and there is a set of all black ones coming this way shortly, so yes it probably will look better just for that change!

Well the theory is that the black tyre's having a greater depth than the rim's should stand out enough to take your main attention away from the silver of the rims so lets hope that rings true so to speak ..
