Nice 👍
Really, really nice...the colour is perfect, bet it looks wild in the sun!!Out of interest, what made you go with a Total Hangover? They are a great tech frame, and a ton of riders use them, but couldn't be any further away from old school, ie steep headangle, low standover, short rear end.

The build started as a me time project and originally I went with the Blank Grizzly 21 inch tt just to start a cheap build ( it was about £60 ) Then the total frame went on sale so I went for that. I will not use the bike anywhere near it’s full potential as I’m an old man now lol. I just loved the colour and the geometry of the frame looked cool. Plus the integrated chain tensioners and seat post pin were a bonus. I needed a project to keep me in garage tinkering. I wanted to do an old school build but doing the sums it stung too much, so I went new school. A little random but Internet shopping for the parts was a good way to while away the hours. The build was a slow one as all parts were bought in sales but the actual build was easy for someone like me who hadn’t touched a bike in over a decade. Thanks for taking time to look at my pics and your comment.
