Lovely work and thread Regan, can't wait to see the finished bike. I remember the hunt from when I built my Tim Gould Schwinn homage, getting all nerdy over the details is half the fun!
Note to self - Check with Regan that he's not entering BOTM, before I pop my F1 in the vote!
Thanks Alec. I'm a super nerd with some things, I've been properly excited with this project.
As for BOTM, even if it does enter, it's always up to those who like it to vote. There's been some great bikes worthy of the title that have missed out before. I'd love this bike to get the title. I wouldn't think of myself winning it, but the bike. The bike is almost demanding that it receives such care and precision that hopefully I'm giving it!

FYI, John has upped the photo upload size limit, it’s 3meg now which makes a massive difference. If ever there was a build thread that deserved higher photo resolution this is it!!
Ahhh tits
You just caused another two hours of work! (Which will be totally worth it!) Thank you for that insight. :!:

...in the advertisements for the new onza porcupine white 29er two c26 appear, one also has the carbon tubes riveted in the steel, who are they?
Ciao Adri - wow, I haven't seen this photo, with two C-26s, only the black one, which belongs to Stefan @ Cycleworks.ch and is the former bike of Luis Kramer, the former Yeti bike shop that sold most Yetis in Europe. It was a gift to Kramer from JP in 1990/91. The rivets were added by Yeti as a precaution. I believe it was the last one ever built, which is why it is black. I don't know the middle one, I̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶n̶k̶ ̶m̶a̶y̶b̶e̶ ̶i̶t̶'̶s̶ ̶C̶y̶c̶l̶e̶s̶h̶a̶r̶k̶'̶s̶,̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶I̶'̶l̶l̶ ̶a̶s̶k̶.
EDIT the middle one is one of three original C-26s imported by MTB Cycletech in Switzerland, now belongs to Lopez from Basel.
Don;t delete them, it adds to the history of the C-26 and compliments my project. Grazie
