managed to finish this off today while my work van was in the garage getting fixed

just needs brake pads & chain putting on but cannot find my chain extractor

could do with a 44t trifan as this is only a 43t

will get some proper pics up the track on the weekend

Sorry for thread hi-jack but how much should I be prepared to pay for an early 1" s&m frame?

SaMAlex · « **Reply #7 on:** February 22, 2012, 07:11 PM »

Nice build. Looking good.

Keep an eye on those forks. Most 1" forks are bad but early S&M forks weren't great at all.

Come on Gishy

Plus right hand levers for rear brakes

He's paid too much notice lining the labels up opposite the dust caps

nice bit of OCD Paul I like that in a build

just remember to fit the brake blocks before you take it for a spin
