What are your project plans for 2012?

[letmetalktomark]

For me I would like to add to the stable:

A nice 94/95 steel exotic(?) frame for a M950 build.

A nice lugged late 80s frame - whilst these were never part of my MTB experience to date I feel I ought to try one

Also a foray into the world of retro full squish.

So what are yours?

Finish what I've been farting around with for the last few months.

Maybe consider a try of bounce.

Convert one of my bikes to discs so I can see how they are.

Good call.

The Ti Kona itch is worth scratching.

I found my 20'' to be very "wet noodle" ish but I guess this may have been down to the larger size, 28h rims and a 100kg rider

To complete my Brit/euro build in time for mayhem(it's 75% complete).wouldn't mind something that goes boingy at both ends as well

Oh man, where do I start?

- Finish my 729
- Gather the parts to complete my NOS Altus A10 groupset and put that on my red 503
- Get started on my blue 503
- Find and buy a full-susser Sbike
- Find and buy a Whyte PRST-4 (okay, that's not exactly retro, but it's special enough for me).

Thanks bud...as i said lets wait and see..18" Kona Ti frames are few and far between..i feel the "wanted" advert will require a few bumps

Its going to be a busy bike year forme next year. I'll be starting the process of selling my business in spring so I can start full time frame building. I've already taken several orders and hope to be up and running by Easter.

On a personal level, I need to complete a very special project that I started over a year ago. All NOS parts have been aquired which leaves the frame as the last part of the jigsaw. Hoping to be finished in time for NE&Yorks National Ride in June/July.

Should also be finally getting my hands on a lovely Ritchey Commando in a few months as soon as its owner collects it from his other residence, and I want to build up an earlier style skiptooth bomber out of a recently aquired Schwinn DX frame.

Still have a strong hankering for a Lawwill Knight Procruiser that ought to be scratched.

Finally I'm going to drag that Mongoose Kos Kruiser out of the loft and give it a proper restoration.

Apart from that, hope to do much more riding than this year and try and keep on top of the fitness.
