So I bought a TNT Pro from the states for my daughter for £150 ... she loved it ... but it was a survivor frame and I didn't want to restore it as it had all its own decals.

Nicky Custurdtits decided to part with a TNT Longfella ... and I already had had some interest my Pro the frame ... so I did the deal on mine and bought Nicks...

Speaking to Nick and then Daz who used to own it I had the full downlow on its history and prototype status ( due to its fat tubed rear triangle on a early Longfellow frame )

Here's the frame as Daz got it ...

and how Daz built it ...

and Nick's advert which one me over :-)

I got it built up quick as my daughter was keen to get riding but I've got some plans to stamp my own mark on this frame

I have to concur, I'd look like those 7 year kids you see that've stolen their dads Cube mtb from the shed and are trying to ride it while looking cool
