update and progress so far!!
got a phone call this morning from the powder coat guys, the proflex frame is ready for collection. so off i go to get it. i'm pretty happy with the finish considering they shot blasted it! it's not very orange pealy if you know what i mean so i'm quite chuffed.
took the frame straight to the shop, thread tapped everything and faced the b/b and the headtube then brought it home to start building
fitted they swingarm and started assembling the bars/ wheels etc. got the wheels yesterday, swapped them for the disc versions i had hanging in the garage. got the forks NOS from evilblagg a while back. i'm gonna build it with the best bits i have lying around excess from other builds so it's fsa bar/stem/post with xt mechs and deore shifters, i have got a chainset but it looks a bit crap so i'm gonna clean it up before i fit it but this is how far i got so far today. will get some stickers sorted at some point aswel.
hope you like it so far
