Thanks for the kind words folks.

The only thing I'd like to do is change the bars for an early set of Q bars, but these will do until a set turn up.

Yes I still have them all, and once they are built they stay built.

In all my years of building I have only sold 3 bikes, and the rest are all still with me. Sometimes I wish I could part with a few just to free us some space and money for new projects but I cant bring myself to do it.

I am a lot better with parts hoarding now though. I used to have boxes of stuff "just in case I needed it one day" but have now got rid of all of it and only buy what I need to finish projects.
