Very very nice mate.

What forks and spec are you thinking of doing.

Thanks

It'll be 'something' like this initially with Mag 21's.....

Cheers

Love that....would look nice with a Judy SL or ti project two if available :roll:

I always had the idea of doing a hemming rep as loved the purple Ringle on his but could never find a 17".

Lovely frame

I'd like to know your methods for refinishing the frame too

Thanks

I use scotch-pads.

Cheers

 

[Rio]

looking forward to see how you're going to build this one!

 

[Faghetaboutit]

This one is going to be good, I can just tell
None of this hanging crap off lovely frames here!!!
Looking forward to the next instalment

 

[wadsy]

Just to get the ball rolling!....I chucked few parts on the other day....

 

[jinjrich]

Looks awesome!

 

[wadsy]

Chucked a few more parts on today!...

With gold Mag 21's...

With silver Mag 21's.....

Not my final intended spec, but a good start


Cheers

Unfortunately I realised when building it up that's the frame is intended for V's, not cantis, so a slight DIY 'fix' with an alloy ferrule to get it functional.

It was really a canti-type frame I wanted, so I will probably (very reluctantly) let this one go

....and I'd ordered a set of '94 decals :roll: ...I believe this frame to be a '96 ...anyone confirm for me?

Cheers

 

[Plus one]

The rear cable stop indicates 96 onwards but not 100%.. Weld looks like it may have been added later ? .. Sure you will sell no problem though

 

[jinjrich]

It does look like its been added doesn't it.... It'd be shame to let that one go. V brakes are better anyway! ;-)
