Gary72 · « **on:** September 12, 2010, 03:19 PM »

I'm off too centreparcs soon and wanted a cheap project bike. JJ answered my call with a £60 F&F deal. The only other thing I have bought to finish this was the wheels from a member at my race club. All the other bits have been sourced from my shed and cupboard of bits.

Breakdown of parts
Frame - FBM Night Train
Forks - S&M Pitchforks
Headset - FSA PIG
Bars - Fit Sky High (Rattlecan Red)
Brake - Hombre, Tech 77, Odyssey Slic
Seat - Shadow Slim, Odyssey Intac post, Wethepeople clamp (Ovenprided)
Cranks- Battered Primo Powerbites, Odyssesy plastic pedals, Sprocket is too big, Looking for a 43t and something abit more black
Wheels - Unknown rear sealed bolt through hub with BFR rim, GT sealed front hub with a 1.5 sunrim, Tyres Primo V monster which are at least 10-15 years old
Stem - Either a Kink or Hoffman from a complete
Grips - Fit (Free with an order from The Source) Bar ends - Colony
Seems to have come together quite well I think.

Yep, Got the Brits next weekend. Then off to centreparcs. Wish I could make a day of the last Old Fools, But too much driving.

Just won a 43t DK sprocket and Primo Rod seat post for it, I can have the seat a little higher now

Not letting it go again, I sold it about 18 months ago and only just got the frame back.

Sweet that. Too nice for a junker.

Well been getting bits together for awile now, Still away to go. But pulled the bits out from under the bed and thought Id give myself a Kick up the Ass to get this done. Aiming for a Mike Tag tribute/replica. Got an idea of parts from John Lee at FBM. Get well soon John.

Looked naked without tyres so squeezed some onto the Hula Hoops.

Sorry about the shitty pics, Might try and get some outdoors tomorrow before it goes back in its box under the bed.

justme · « **Reply #17 on:** February 21, 2015, 11:12 PM »

where do you find all these fbm bits!? pretty sure it seems like ever time i pop on here you have more ha

Gary72 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 21, 2015, 11:55 PM »

Most of the bits come from ebay

Gary72 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 22, 2015, 11:56 AM »

Outdoor pics.

Not happy with the seat guts, Got another Rod somewhere will see if they are different.

Ive got a vinyl seat, But think I prefer the look of this one.
Got a set of FBM bars as well to go on, They have been cut down though, Thinking about getting them lengthened.
