Looks really cool. Is it fixed? Hope you're gonna put a back brake on if it's not.

Thanks.
It is no fixie, and there is going to be a back brake.
I said it was finished, but it needs some nice cantis.

the first single speed i built didnt have a back brake ,its suprising how much you use it .you dont notice till its not there

Lovely classic looking bike fella, like it lots, , especially the colour..

BTW... Did you loose the raleigh head badge ? because its not in the last shots. ? :?

 

[Jamis Diablo]

Thanks, I'm glad the colour worked out fine, I really like it too.

I didn't loose the badge, I still have to polish the frame, the badge was taped on just for the pic.

There is a shorter stem [thanks to RAFbikes] with less raise on the way, with this one handling is way to slow.
