** Stooge Mk6 **

Can’t think of a better way to start a build thread than with this pic….



Frames are due in July, so will be the perfect birthday present!



Pale olive drab is the colour of choice.

Have to say a big thanks to ti-fat-man for the cranks, saw them on eBay last December (fortunately for me they didn't sell) and have been in discussions with him about them ever since.... only took five months to finally acquire them!

Super-rare to find these new as they were a limited edition run from quite a few years ago now.

Nice, will watch this with interest. I only discovered Stooge recently and I'm currently trying to convince myself I don't need a Rambler.

Nice machines the Stooges, I've had a few, just my kind of bike and riding.

Go for a Rambler - it's the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden

The bit that's holding me back is that I need to do a budget build and can't find affordable wheels. New ones are expensive and finding the right axle size second-hand is a time-consuming pain.

DWard Design Titanium Chainring arrived today




Looks great bolted on the cranks!

These will be shipped with a new style segmented fork this time

Andy had a frame shipped before the full delivery the first week of July which he's just built up.

Pic shows the new straight seat tube and the new segmented straight-leg forks.

Can't wait for mine!
