Re:

Anymore updates on this build?

I've got what I believed to be an early E2, with a noodle for cantis.

It's in a bit of a sorry state though, the headtube was cracked in two places, a couple of the bottle cage mounts/rivnuts are loose.

I've got most parts to build - because mine is rough I planned on spraying it white with decals from dnfive.

Your builds are inspirational!

If you fancy doing a period build with your E2, Satin black was an option for it BITD.

Would like to see a few pics of your current steed, as not many turn up these days.

I will be updating the build soon.

Ohhh... Satin black. I went with white for a few reasons a, I've got loads of paint, b, I've got some blue anodised bits, c, I haven't had a white bike in ages. Got me thinking though. Did have a build thread, I'll find it and give it an refresh.

Looking forward to your update!

Re:

Pretty badass is that.

Loads of silver going on but orange get away with it. I have always liked
the slender tubing, even the alu models have been kept slender.

E2. Bleedin' rare is that!

Cheers.
