Forks and seat post arrived today.

Thanks James

Do you have a list of what other bits you need, I'm sure I can dig you out something from the man cave, the wife would thank you for taking some of it too

 

[sylus]

update on the bits you need chap?

 

[AR-CoolC]

The main bits needed now are:

bars, stem, crank, rear wheel with cassette. Then it's bits n bobs.

All being well I'll start prepping the frame and forks next week. I'll add pictures in here when I do.

I have a set of Black risers and flats, both approx 570mm.

What style crank are you after?

I have a club roost riser, see my sale thread

Funds have dissapeared for this month, so I'll be on the hunt again after pay day :roll:

Probably looking for a flat bar and a short 1-1/8th quil stem.

Crank wise, I'm still undecided. She has asked for gears front and back like daddy's but she doesn't use the 6 she has now. I might stick with just a rear deurallier but if the right crank turns up who knows

I've been luck and won a small GT frame on Ebay this afternoon for the pricely sum of £1.04

That looks like a resprayed Karakoram frame from 95 or so.... If it's 26,8 seatpost you can be sure it is.

If so,
Bargain!

Could be tricky to fettle with regard to fitting rear v-brake though.

Can't help you much with parts - but I do have some Dia-compe levers and no-name cantis you can have for a tenner plus whatever the postage runs in at (which as always is probably too much).

I have some silver flat bars you can have for postage, also have some nice condition mechs too that won't break the bank. Bars aren't the lightest though so you may want to hold out for someone with lighter ones.

What length crank would be ideal?

Also, are you wanting this to be a retro build?
