Sorry boxxer, missed your question. Yeah ive got the back end, i'm waiting for a front triangle to crop up so i can build it up.
I like the door handle suggestion, i dont think my wife would appeciate it on the living room door though ;] hmm pen holder from the bb, that may be a goer

Front end for an RTS
I have a couple of front ends, I guess I could bear to part with one of them. One I bought off eBay a month or so ago, the other I got when I bought a job-lot of RTS rear ends. One is purple and a 97 I believe, the other is black and a 94 I think. The black one has a mark on the top-tube but I think this is only down to the metal and not a dent, though difficult to tell for certain. I also have my original RTS-2 with a steel rear end, but this has started to crack where the rocker pivot is mounted to the frame. This can be welded, I just have not got around to doing it. I read on a forum somewhere that someone had a mate who used to add these mounts every season so it is def. possible.
Anyway, just putting that out there.
Here is one I made earlier - GT Team RTS.

Thanks Ian, PM sent about the frames.
I like your RTS build, looks great. I've just finished my first RTS project

I've not managed to get as much High end kit on it as you though! Maybe next time.
