I love this bike and have been planning it in my mind for ages. I think it took three and a half weeks from getting the frame to completion. Got lucky with some of the parts as i thought the Pro Neck Stem and the Sugino CT's would be harder to get hold of especially in this condition

Can't wait for next weeks 'My DP... 1 week old

' thread

yes yes it looks the canines undercarriage

nice work on losing the GT sticker.. are you gonna get any pegs? I've got some old school skyway type ones you could clean up

( the bike... not you )

Just turn the tyres round the right way and you are finished

Best of all it's getting ridden
