Ok, deep breath, here goes !

Ok, so that's the cheap tubed prototype, which needs a bit of amending, bb is coming up slightly and the chain stays need widening......

Next up is the jig and tubing ! The detail is beyond belief chaps..........Haro, Skyway hang your head in shame!

Ok Curtis Owners, as you know I went to see Brian Curtis yesterday where I first spoke to him about this project around 5 years ago, however where on. Brian has my cruiser and is measuring the geometry in readiness to make a jig. He is going to make a limited number of frames, identical to the original cruiser. The frames will be finished as 'raw' so to see the awesome brazing and workmanship. You can then do as you please, leave, lacquer paint or chrome it at your expense.

We are working to get the tubes pre polished as in the 80's, so if chromed, the finish would be flawless.

So to be transparent, the cost of the tubing is c£140, and will take two days for Brian to make. He is asking £400 for frame and forks (which I think is very very reasonable). I have no financial interest in this project, simply taking the administration away from him.

He is also offering YOU the chance to visit, so to watch YOUR frame being made, so to either stamp your initials on the BB, however there will be no 'bespoke' requests (sorry), for an extra £50.

If you are interested, please contact me direct and not Brian. Guys, any questions, please ask me, this is a one and only chance of owing a bit of history, so please let me know.

He is only planning on making 20, and I have orders for around a dozen already, so be quick.

I would imagine that once the jig is made, he will start building in the spring and throughout the summer, remember he is 74 years old, so please be patient.

cheers Nick and Brian.

Ok! rather than anymore queries, please now PM me if you still want a Cruiser and whether you want bars and seat post too. I will have a generic list, which WILL NOT be in any order, simply a list of people that WANT one. Please PM regardless of any previous contact. Over and out.

That doesn't apply to the people that have already ordered, such as Webbie, Martin, Funky worm, Chapperz

List up dated !

Gashead · « **Reply #120 on:** April 02, 2014, 04:37 PM »

5 x deposits received

Payments will be banked into Brian's account tomorrow !

As said he will look to start making at the beginning of May, if not before, the first two (of which are his will be made first), so if he does two per month, then the first ones will be done end of May I should imagine......

Thanks for the payments chaps, I'll get Brian's number to you once I have spoken to him and we have a clear start date

Nick

Zippy · « **Reply #121 on:** April 19, 2014, 06:39 PM »

I've just skimmed through the bits I haven't had chance to read yet and I'll deffo have one. If it comes with seat post and bars I'll have them too.

ron burgundy · « **Reply #122 on:** April 20, 2014, 02:12 PM »

Very nice.

They've recently built up really nice modern cruiser, too.

BADDH · « **Reply #123 on:** April 25, 2014, 06:25 AM »

Oh ... What to do ...

That would be a nice piece to own, hand built by BC.. Nothing gets close to that

Funkyworm · « **Reply #124 on:** April 25, 2014, 06:44 PM »

Unfortunately i'm having to pull out from this project & have offered dib dobs on my place in the queue to Danny Robo in return for him paying back my deposit .

As he's Curtis mad it seemed the logical thing to do & the money HAS now been paid.

There seem no shortage of takers on this one so I'm sure no one will be losing out.
