First build in years - UK 631 steel

[GT-Steve]

Been craving and searching for a new build for about a month now (previously built 100's of bikes on here) but wasn't quite sure what I wanted.... :roll:

And then I happened upon this, a Whyte 19 steel, fabricated out of Reynolds finest 631 tubing. Having read some reviews it's all positive so I did the do on eGay and got it for a very good price indeed.

Now to pick (and hunt) some reasonable components to compliment some that I already have in the parts bin, and I think I might just have myself a long-term keeper
