Dudes....probably be my last build as I aint got room for another

This is gonna be my SUMMER RIDER... yeh I know it's mostly NOS but what the heck it looks like it wants to be ridden so I'm gonna use it

The frame is in very good OG survivor condition with A1 dropouts so although I usually go for perfection I couldn't bring myself to refinish it $:-\$

Will be putting a front brake on this as soon as I can get a front DC spindle bolt

Spec as follows:

Race Inc RA 24 Cruiser Frame in OG Gold Anodised Finish
NOS Race Inc Cruiser Forks
SE Powerwing Cruiser Bars
NOS Araya 7X 24 x 1.75 Shineside Rims laced to NOS ACS Hubs
NOS Yellow Label 24 x 1.75 Comp III Tyres
NOS Redline Brute Stem
NOS Suntour VX Cranks
NOS Shimano DX Pedals
NOS MX1000 Brakes
NOS Race Inc Seatpost
NOS Elina Lightening Bolt Seat
NOS ACS Seat Clamp
NOS Oakley II Grips
NOS Izumi Chain

Hope ya like

John

I wasn't expecting that .....

Frameset looks great in Gold , even better that's it's OG

One hell of a Rider John

Cheers for the great comments guys....

to be honest, the parts were originally going to be used on another frame I had anodised red. But it turned out way too dark and took about 8 months to get done, so when the og gold frame came up I gave it a go with the same parts. Wasn't sure at first about how it looked, but it's a "grower" as they say and now I'm well pleased with it

Again... thanks for the great feedback guys, always nice to see great comments about a build. I would love to do more builds but now I've moved the misses in with her 2 boys I don't have the funds or room to do any more

...if I kick 'em out then I'll be on it again

Will always find time for a bit of riding though eh
