Amazing-looking frames these! There's been one for sale over on the Museum recently that I kept admiring. Love the candy red finish on this one though!

I love this... it looks like a mini version of my JAD!

I might be able to help with a couple of bits as I think I have a black uni seat and some dia compe brake blocks.... on the condition you give me first refusal if you ever decide to sell ot

Looks nice but strange? but in a good way

reminds me of a Raleigh Commando in a strange way tho?

Mikku · « **Reply #14 on:** March 04, 2016, 12:03 AM »

Raleigh Commando!!! That's a name I haven't heard in bloody years - probably 30!!!

Any progress on the build Jonny?

Yes Matt, similar frame design!
