To build, or not to build ?
« on: November 01, 2006, 10:39 PM »
I am quite liking just looking at some of the frames I have at the moment. I've got a fair few parts, and can build alot of them up, but space is an issue these days (I have way too much stuff)

Does anybody else just stare at their frames, or am I the only sad pervert here ?  :-[


Got a beautiful Laserlite in the post today, to go with my pit

I have a couple of frames in my lounge now, obviously they'll have to be removed before the hoover chips the paint on them, but I do like to sit and look at them.



Sad really isn't it  :LolLolLolLol:

its non stamped too i take it?  :angel:

Very nice frames.

Thats the problem with Nos Frames, Iv got an 85 Chrome Master, once its been built, its no longer Nos  ???

I quite like to just have them as Frames, but I know I will build it up, thats what they were made for  :daumenhoch:

obviously not then  ;D

apparently the later or 84 onwards frames had a stamped logo on the dropouts & brake bridge





thanks to NSR Jamie for the use of those 2 pics  ;)

also a pic of my Laserlite (chrome) & KZ1 (blue) rear drops for comparison



lastly white Tange/Tioga Rhino 3 & yellow Kuwie magician from about 87 (K logo stamp just visible) the only frame i have with the ridged dropouts  ???

the yellow one is a Taiwan made bike hence the slightly different shaped dropouts & hole sizes plus the tunes aint flattened & welded both sides either like all the other Tange/Kuwie made frames!

Luvving both theKuwahara Guy . . . real nice  :4_17_5:

I have to confess I'm as guilty as the rest for sitting there adimiring my bikes . . . especially after I've first built them. I often browse through the RAD musuem too as there's some stunning looking bikes here now which are ALL equally as nice to look at
