JMC basket case reborn 4 MK
« on: August 10, 2008, 09:25 PM »
This was a joint build with Cupid Stunt 4 MK this year . This post is 4 those who could not make it and also 2 show the resto that went into this build. the F&F came as a complete bike, with major issues !!! The drop outs were damaged, there were a few dents to the rear triangle tubes. Dents by the top tube where the seatpost tube passes through , there was a reason 4 this tho  ::) There was an ally seatpost snapped off in it that took hours of love 2 remove without damaging anything   >:( Then the worst  :shocked: the seatpost tube was snapped clean off and missing. Heres the finished article resto pics 2 follow  :daumenhoch:

Even better to rebuild something like that than an easy restore. Best build i ever did was a almost knackered CW.

Lovelly looking bike  :daumenhoch:

Was just looking at those, how did you get the white lettering done?  Were they done from a restored pair of cages or a new set?

Cracking job on the overall restoration, now it makes sense why you both were after JMC seat tube heights  :LolLolLolLol:.  Lovely result; worth the effort  :smitten:
