Whats happened to the rear dropout

Looks like it's been Parcel Forced. They did that to a frame which was being sent back to me after being coated in lovely candy powder. They mangled both of my dropouts though.

I straightened the dropouts but the powder was fecked so it had to be done again. I also had to cough for another lot of postage.

That is some quality metal there Adam, can't wait to see it built up

Wow, thanks chaps. I was indeed very very lucky to be in a position to acquire this and from a super cool seller too.
To answer a few questions:
It is a lovely colour which I don't believe is original but it's irrelevant anyway as its getting stripped and going black. (my wife says black is best

)
The rear drop outs have been 'Parcel Forced' so will have to be straightened out a little. Fookin idiots.
Steve will be in his element building this beauty
Ash, you know I've been looking for a Studd stem although that one looks like a mini stem. I'll take it in a heartbeat though. A Galindo stem would be rather nice too. Flashy crowd indeed. Thats Norms GJS Big Tube the Studd stem is resting on is it not?
I have got a set of real nice Sonlites in stock but I want to go a little higher end than that, I have a deal in progress for something a little special.
I would love a set of 24" Ambrosio rims If i can find a set in hard anno.

I already have the following:
Frameset and bars
SST Command post
Prodyne seat post clamp (again 1 of 4 known to exist world wide)
Studd chainwheel
Studd chainwheel bolts

Not doing very well at the moment

Wish list:

Either a set of Aerospeeds or maybe a set of single drive Clemtwin cranks
Phil Wood spider
VDC BB
Shotgun ll (not a chequered one)
Suntour MP100 pedals with VDC cage extenders
Ambrosio Hard anno rims
Studd or Galindo stem

If anyone can help with any of the above please let me know.

Cheers

Adam

when I ride this I'm definitely not getting pissed and falling off.
If the next London ride is next summer then yes it will be ready.

Lovely Adam, I'm glad you're changing the colour, I don't think that red looks right especially with the chrome decals $:-\$

Can't wait to see this one built

MXR Hubs ?

neil · « **Reply #39 on:** October 04, 2012, 01:13 AM »

adam hope you listen to steve when you build this and dont go putting some thing shite on it like you have in the past like coluored tyres etc
i havent been on here for a bit but im gona tell people straight (non of those campag hubs that noone ever used either ) too many people on here who lick ass (you know who you are)
and theres also loads on here who never raced or did some freestyle in their life

oooosh im back

xGoose · « **Reply #40 on:** October 04, 2012, 03:50 AM »

Sweet Adam, looking forward to seeing this one mate

steve69 · « **Reply #41 on:** October 04, 2012, 06:54 AM »

Can't wait to stroke this one

And the sooner those shite decals come off the better.

The biggest problem i'll face (other than trying to convince Adam that not all that's rare is good) will be giving it back when it's built

This one is gonna be a knockout Neil, I know the exact spec already. Sheriff Stars are beautiful Hubs but far too dainty for this beast.
