Re:

A couple of hours in the garden this evening and I have something resembling a bike ..... Don't judge me on the aesthetics I'm working with what I have

The colours don't really work but as I haven't had to buy anything that's a) a bonus and b) worrying as clearly I have too much stuff still

More tinkering tomorrow night.

Awesome...and another rival for the longest seat post...did you get one from Mike Muz?

I'm not 100% sure it's at ride height ..... May need to go up a bit ;-)

180mm cranks too

I have to say that I look forward to when 29ers meet the criteria for retro as even with the largest tyres I could find in the shed (2.35") the wheels look so tiny.

Re:

Don't worry about aesthetics. I've just spent an hour putting random stickers on my Kona to try and disguise the various dents and scrapes

Oh and might have 'accidentally' just bought another retro as well. Although I don't think that will be ready by Friday somehow.

Looks nice!

BTW, wtf is it? I have some Sugino 180s to sell, should you be looking for another pair

Muzza
And no, Wookie, not guilty this time!

Re:

Know I recognise that frame but can't bring it to mind - put us out of our misery...?!

Only thing I can see wrong is the lack of a blue (Hope) seat collar; otherwise spot on!

1999 hahanna. Was literally the only non modern I could find in my size for £50 down here at the time. Bit rough around the edges but adds to the character
