for a first build, it's a corker, mate. Puts mine to absolute shame.

Nice and clean look too.

thanks mate, there was a few hairy moments! but she's all done (apart from air in the tyres)
and i dunno how long the chain will hold up... daren't even sit on it!

[CD17]

That looks very nice, I like white. Great first build  

Get yourself some Nos air for those tyres & get out on it

very nice mate, has it got decals on it? Aren't the bars way to foward to ride? Whats you're next project then?

[brettnai]

Cheers Dan, and cheers for ya help!
I've got a mid school Bully Hotrod frame ready to go, quite a rare frame apparently and a Aero Reflex I'm gonna do up on the cheap for a mate.

Cheers mate, no decals until i can get some black and white ones, dont really wanna colour it
bars are quite far forward now ya mention it, but at 6"2 i need as much room as poss 

[highrisedrifter]

I've finished my T/A and Master builds now but I think i'm going to keep them to myself until i've had the chance to swap a few bits.

Mainly because you've made a nice build and i'm not happy with mine now!

thats a quality build mate    don't worry about the chain....it was near enough brand new when you got it off me .

Pull the bars back a tad, get some air in the tyres and give it a ride....you'll love it!!  i love mine 

took mine out yesterday around the block for a bit.......i love it when the locals shout out "love that bike mate"

trouble is mate i took the chain off and as i did one of the bits on the joing link broke slightly so now I cant get the little clip to fix on, I need a new link... gutted!

That stem is the Jewel in the crown mate I love it! couldn't be better! the colours spot on too!

[MartyC]

I like that colourway, very crisp and clean, a great first build 

Bars back a touch, seat angled up a touch and air in the tyres and your away

Thanks Marty, I've sorted the bars and now have air in my tyres... one of the tyres is bulging slightly though, i think the walls damaged.
I've tried taking the tyre off and fittingg it again several times but still get a very slight lump... am i being fussy now?

[Moza]

Do you have a colour photo instead of the negative

no really I like that, looks clean and uncluttered

[BentAxle]

looks sweet now go get some old skool wind for them tires , i think its cheap on eeees bay

Inflate the tyre to about 25psi and then go rouond it pushing and pulling the tyre until the tyre bead is seated evenly all round , spin it round to check and then inflate to max 45-50psi and jobs a good un  .

[Stace]

Nice,

One of the best looking Streets I've seen

Ah, that's good advice. I'll have to try that on a wonky tyre.
