Project SS , updated 10/12/09, Houston we have a problem

Hi Guys

Just a quick update as its been a while
Nothing to report really, I'm waiting for a supplier to deliver some CarbonFibre tube to complete the next stage

Its also required to complete my part of this project

http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=75618

But I'm hoping to have it completed by Xmas

A rude phone call will be being made this week!!!
 
After what seems like for ever since ordering it - apparently its busy in the million dollar yacht industry! some Carbon tube finally arrived

Due to time contraints I have flogged the crown and dropouts of a broken pair of bombers I had lying around

I'm a little disappointed I don't have the time to start from scratch, but maybe next time?
