i have a new school bike but i didnt build it, so i think nows about time to build one. i never realised how much money was involved though- fookin rear hubs are stupid prices!
so anyway the frame turned up today and ever since i first saw one of these i wanted one just because its got a twin top tube

il update pics as parts turn up and i build it
so far:

subrosa pandora dtt 20.75tt
odyssey 41 thermal forks
bicycle union bullet bars

Love the Double top tube

You need to throw a set of white Tuffs on that

On a serious note a nice looking setup

Very nice.All the better for not having a stupid built-in seatpost

Very nice!

i did see they done one with a built in seatpost, seems a bloody stupid idea if you ask me as it has no adjustment

99% of people have their seats slammed so it makes no odds to most.

I think 99% of people buying one of these frames would be old schoolers wanting to relive the past, not following current trends like slammed posts

really like that top tube its... torkertastic

stevied · « **Reply #9 on:** January 16, 2011, 02:41 PM »

its still not done yet but im getting there just need some more money to finish, the front wheel is not the correct one as its gonna have a red eclat front hub to match the back and ive got an eclat rim for the front, im still undecided as to what colour sprocket to run? any way heres some pics so far

Nice dude, get yer seat up a bit though

Got some of those union bullet bars, loved em but found 8" rise bars way better for my knackered back

Red or polished for the sprocket...

stevied · « **Reply #11 on:** January 16, 2011, 04:16 PM »

red or polished is exactly the dilemma i have on the sprocket, im leaning towards polished though as everything red part seems to be a slightly different shade of red $:-\$

Bettyswallocks · « **Reply #12 on:** January 16, 2011, 04:19 PM »

Go with polished dude, its what i was leaning to n all

It'll go well with chrome profiles....

stevied · « **Reply #13 on:** January 16, 2011, 04:21 PM »

i reckon thats the way to go, just gotta earn some money now to finish it off

mamadirt · « **Reply #14 on:** January 17, 2011, 05:12 PM »

Looks very nice indeed

. Still look back at the pics of my old red one - shame it was really too long. I've seen shorty versions over on ebay usa but don't know if they ever made it to these shores.

or get one of those odyssey chainwheel sprockets which look like old school set up but in minature. they do em in colours with polished alloy.

i run one 25t black/silver. nice and snug on chain too due to squarer teeth. worth a gander at and prob look cool on your bike.

stevied · « **Reply #16 on:** January 17, 2011, 10:01 PM »

i went on ebay today and was going to buy one of them in red/polished but i was £6 short in my paypal account

at least im pretty sure i know what im getting just gotta wait for some money to clear

I love the pandora dtt. This is my first new school build too!

I also bought one solely for the old school looking top tube.

Here is my one finished.

Great looking DTT, seeing this makes me think about having another N/S ride

stevied · « **Reply #19 on:** February 12, 2011, 06:17 PM »

since building this i havent ridden any of my old school bikes, this rides sooooo nice

stevied · « **Reply #20 on:** February 14, 2011, 11:37 AM »

the front wheel is now different, heres an updated pic

pickle · « **Reply #21 on:** February 14, 2011, 11:39 AM »

Looks well nice.........

brettypeeps · « **Reply #22 on:** February 14, 2011, 11:53 AM »

what a beauty... loving the touches of red

stevied · « **Reply #23 on:** February 14, 2011, 11:57 AM »

the sprockets 25t, the seat is normally raised a bit but theres a mark on the seatpost so i slammed the seat for the pictures

that kid whacking his head, falling through the ramp in your avatar has me in tears! hahahahahhahaha
funnier and funnier!

it looks like it really hurt as well, he falls 5ft onto his back then the bike lands on him,
