I'm really pleased with how this has turned out and I hope you all like it.

This is not a true Greg Hill replica but more a homage to many of the bikes he road from 83-85.

Builds always seem to take on a life of their own. This started off as a low end build which I was going to thrash round the track but as you all know one thing leads to another ....

Every time I do a new build I have to get different parts ... Parts that give me a buzz that I haven't already got in my collection. Have this in mind when you look at the parts list and please try not to be too judgemental .....


Many thanks to all those who made this build possible ....
King Joff for some mega parts swapping
Andy ( DTTDB ) for some great parts, time and words of encouragement
Retrodan Jackson you are Spider-Man !
Dazza for your time and skills sorting my wheels out
Chilly for that epic saddle
My main man Dave for his epic building skills

Some of the choicest Parts ....
Oakley F1s
Dia Compe MX 900
Shimano DX lever and 16t freewheel
Haro colour plate with drilled and clip on Haro Tech 3 number (as Greg Hill often ran)
Crank set up - Sugino  Sugino Sugino !
Cycle Pro Shotgun 1 ( early )
Suntour Headset Lock and seat clamp
Suzue Large Flange Hubs
OG Hutch Beartraps ( for opc )

Thanks Rich . :daumenhoch:.. The good Christian neighbours apparently put the bunting up to ward off unsavoury types like your good self!

Added Rad Fact .. The neighbours were both child actors and both feature heavily in the motion picture " Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! "  8)
