Nice neighbours!
Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

Hmm, I took a liking to the retro 20" GT Performer they do but I bet I'd get walloped with customs charges!

How quick was the delivery Rob?  :daumenhoch:

yeah the 20" performer is more of an old school design rather than new school version i think, but nice though  :daumenhoch:

Delivery was a week  :shocked:   :4_17_5:

Err, surely its built on the same design ethic as your Goose?

Integrated headset, 990 lugs, bigger rear drop outs etc so old school design with new school improvements?  :daumenhoch:

the GT is about the best retro i've seen so far,i'm impressed, :smitten:

the goose is sweet but theres really only the seat stay junction and head tube plates that make it "retro"

That would be good, are these frames light though?

I like the idea of building one for the ramp nights, nice fusion of old style and new toughness... :daumenhoch:

I couldn't really see your attraction Pickle but having seen some of the finished bikes ... they are very sexy.
