well i actually built my old gt pro up for the series six months ago, and a few nights before the first bradford winter meet i threw it down my street as a result of a chain off, four stitches on my hip and no skin on my hands for my efforts.. ouch.. 'kin ell that hurt!!... and that got me thinking, the way i usually got about things, 'bull in china shop' what if i break my beloved old gt which i have had since back in the day?... no way!
so the search began for a realistically priced and light 20" top tube f&f beast............

J.T to the rescue , cheers

a quick rummage in my spare room for some bits..

see you at Hartlepool unless my mate gets some lastminute.com tickets for the Le Mans 24hr..

what you think boys?

Too many 'label whores' on here. It's a race bike - not a showbike

I think it looks cool, SR stem and all

mission saccomplished.

now your next mission, should you choose to accept it, is to try and ride the fooker into the ground...

perfect for the o/s mate....i reckon it'll still be shining when you've done

dont forget to sharpen them elbow's and your in with a chance

Shame it aint a VR6

...oh you meant the bike

Bikes you build for racing, ideally you shouldnt love too much else you wont want to scratch it...It looks nice and businesslike, which is what you want...

Not a showpony but a warhorse
