After sadly developing a crack in my seat tube I was forced to repair and respray the old girl.
I took this opportunity to tweak a few things, and as it’s really my only bike bar an old Bear Valley I thought I’d entertain you lot with an exciting build thread.
I’ve detailed the bike here before but for ref:
- it’s a full Max OR frame and fork, made for me about 35 years ago and have risen most weekends for all that time
- its not a standard Phantom in that I specced straight forks and a sloping tt just for aesthetic reasons
- components are a complete mix, based on what I like the look of for the most part
- as it’s regularly used it won’t look perfect but I’m trying to polish the bits up a bit before it’s back out there
I get the frame back this week, so I’ll update as things move on, but to get you started, this is where we began
