Just put the cable ties on this last night, so now it's complete and ready for the Chester ride next month.

This was, and is with all my builds, done on a budget. You'll see i've used a lot of repop parts, not for the purists but I like to build my bikes and ride them so hanging about for the correct part, paying through the nose for it then worrying about scratching it if I come off isn't an option for me.

Thanks to everyone who played a part in getting this build together, and sorry for not mentioning those i've forgotten, you know who you are.

very very nice indeed well done mate
nicest sr stem i have ever seen. how much was the rechroming of the crank and the bb?

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #15 on:** February 28, 2012, 04:00 PM »

Real real nice looking build there Dan

Attention to detail looks great and those donuts surprisingly go in the dark blue

I had some silver peds you could have bought instead of stripping those you have though

Cheers for all the comments lads, means a lot.

Cheers Dave, they charged me £40 for 2 Sugino cranks in November, and £40 for 2 Tange BB's, £40's a minimum charge they said.
