Colour is fabulous.

looks great! goign well so far, if its a budget build!

I had the intention to do it as a budget build.

Paint strip, shot blast and powder coated through work, so saved money.
The brakes are off my old SS, (the hills around the north east can be killers)
Seat post is a USE copy.

ok, maybe not a minimal budget build but a low one anyway

cant wait for the weekend, out in Beamish woods for a tester.

Looking nice, how's it coming along? You got some wheels for it?

i'll be honest. I don't like the colour. the bare frame just didn't appeal.

the semi-finished pics turn it around though & I think grey rubber for a bit of contrast will make a massive difference, it is shaping up to be a very nice looking bike.

forgot about finished pics.

Pictures Very poor, i know, but all i have at minute.
will do better ones when suns back out.

rides really nice, no fancy modern bounce or stopping but loads of fun.
