ok you've inspired me, out to try and get the stumpie sorted- it's the pram for you son no. 3 :twisted:

good show

Quick pic of the fox, I'll need to try and get some better shots for the thread as these didn't come out too well.

that is looking mighty fine fella x2

like the saddle and those tires are well cool- looking forward to seeing it tomorrow(does have those crappy pedals on :roll: )- I've just got the brakes to do on the spesh and it will be finished. The ride is def. better than most of the retro bikes I have tried so far, seems I have been riding a size to small albeit will reserve judgement till I hit some trails (hopefully not literally :roll: )

When you get to 3 sproggs perry- "hey you, over there, stop it right now!" will often suffice, names become less important :twisted:

those pedals are the future, along with garlic bread. its time to ditch those heavy spuds and join the revolution.

yeah yeah next you'll be telling me you like "cheese"cake :shock:

here is the stumpie finished, won't be bringing her as I don't trust the quick release at the back, I will need to get her bolted up to hold the wheels together.

I think I have been infected by shonkitus as I quite enjoyed putting the bike together, going to call her Kitt as she is straight out of the TV series Shite-rider- so crappy she is cool. The ride is pretty cool, might get a run out tonight if the wife gets back from work soon.

...so this SS thing....is it not compulsory to have a chain tensioner adjuster thingy ?

....not that I'm at all interested in making one of course

 

[clockworkgazz]

not necessary if you have sliding drop outs or you get lucky with the ratios, I use a 1/2 link chain which helps to. Try it it's pretty cool

Those two look pretty damned amazing , wish i could throw a bike together as quick, i always seem to get stuck for parts.

Got me itching to get something done, up to my eyes in it with the friggin car and other mundane things at the moment though :x
