Here are the pics of the frame with its fresh coat of paint. Thanks to SBD for putting up with me being such a fussy customer!

Eventually he ordered in a special RAL code for me so we could get the colour dead right. Im really pleased with how it turned out.

sweet Ive only ever seen black bennets so this will be a breathe of fresh air

dordymush · « **Reply #30 on:** July 06, 2012, 08:40 PM »

looks same colour as mine.

midschooljon · « **Reply #31 on:** July 06, 2012, 08:44 PM »

Yea I think the colours are pretty much identical. Yours looks lovely.

To be honest I think both builds will be very similar when done.

Well in that case they going to look identical

Going on mine is a silver redneck, chrome slams, Primo V monster tyres, and a Primo Hemorrhoid seat. Pretty much standard kit for bikes of that era.

Chrome Pitch forks, Profile cranks, profile chainwheel (mine is a whippet though).

where did you get that banner from ?.

midschooljon · « **Reply #39 on:** July 09, 2012, 10:30 AM »

Lovely build Glen. Bike turned out really well.

midschooljon · « **Reply #40 on:** July 09, 2012, 11:04 AM »

They are real pigs, but to be fair most late mid school bikes were. In fact I'd say the Bennett was probably better then most bikes of the time.

glen them cut down bars look mental

m1ke · « **Reply #42 on:** July 09, 2012, 12:51 PM »

midschooljon · « **Reply #43 on:** July 14, 2012, 04:40 PM »

This arrived from the printers so looking forward to getting this stickered up. Got a few builds on the go now so unfortunately this one is at the back of the line.

dordymush · « **Reply #44 on:** July 14, 2012, 05:00 PM »

come out well that sticker has jon.
if you want me to take a few pics of the other stickers on mine let me know.
its got the full set on.

midschooljon · « **Reply #45 on:** September 07, 2012, 06:20 PM »

Finally back on the Bennett build and making a little progress...

Textured Primo Hemroid seat, Primo Rod post, and Primo Viking clamp.

Got the down tube decal on the frame but still need to draw up the missing ones.

Headset, stem, and fork are all installed but the compression bolt and washer are pretty ugly. I dont suppose anyone on here has a tidier set they would like to sell?

I will try get a bit more done over the weekend as I almost have everything needed to finish this now.

Looks good Gary. Some folks dont like the way these ride but I really enjoyed mine BITD. Mine wont see much action once complete, but they are tough as nails so great bikes to ride in my opinion.
