HOUSE NEEDS RE-DECORATING

?? What's this capitalized message got to do with the bike? and what business is it of yours whether it's decorated or not?

I like the way this is going, and with SHIMANO too!

Has your dad been swatting flies on the walls?

Re: wALL PAPER

HOUSE NEEDS RE-DECORATING

Well, this was a perfect thread up to this point!

Would you tell him that if he had invited you physically into the house to show you the bike?

Re:

I'm pleased you weren't offended mate, it was only meant as a joke

Where did you get the decals? Gil?

Re: Raleigh 653 Castorama Replica

Well, there has been a bit of a turn around.

This frame now belongs to me, my friend is moving away and needs to get rid of a few bits and bobs, so I got this. Unfortunately I don't really have room for another fully built bike in the house, nor at the moment the funds to do it from scratch.

So the plan is just to get a headset and bb (shimano 600 tri colour) and then take apart one of the bikes that I don't use to build this up and use this as a normal use bike for a bit.
