First Build £200 Challenge
« on: July 18, 2010, 07:27 PM »
I've been talked into posting up a couple of pictures of my Christmas project last year.
Being new to the scene I decided to challenge myself to build a bike that cost around a £200 budget.
Unfortunately I spent a little more than I wanted to but I hope the end result was not too bad.

Good skills, I originally built up my OS racer for £100.  I've upgraded a few bits now so it's nearer the £200 mark.

For 200 notes (or just over  ::) ) that's a cracking build  :4_17_5:

Cheers for the feedback everyone :) it's good to know that it doesn't look too bad bearing in mind its only a Reflex.
Once the money is available I'd love to build up a Skyway TA at some point, always wanted one since the rich kid at school rocked up one after the school holidays.
Hopefully one day.

Also looking forward to Milton Keynes to see how it is done properly.
