Really liking this

Got rims today

Bit of a setback tho as currently have a splint on a fractured hand, might struggle to get the final bits restored one handed in time for MK, at this stage not even 100% I'll be able to get to MK myself

Massive thanks to the 2 Daves for helping a poor cripple get his bike built yesterday, I'm all set for MK now

Had a very nice time over at Hutchman's yesterday/today and thanks to him & Stodgy (who popped over to build up the wheels) I now have a bike that I can ride (in a couple of weeks)

Actually, when I say Stodgy 'popped' over, he ended up staying for ages as 72 spokes had to be cut down & rethreaded to fit

Just got the pedals to swap for proper DX & it's done, here are a couple of teaser pics until the bloody sun makes an appearance

Yeah, I'm not normally a cruiser fan, but I'll be taking the time to appreciate this beauty at the weekend.
