Nice Holmes. Great parts compliment. I run the V-Traks on my Holmes, myself. You should turn that front one backwards for true mid-school effect.

Thats really nice. Almost refreshing to see an Oversized Holmes. It will "work" so much better than any of that 1" crap!

Has DSD seen it? He has been lookin for one of those frames for ages!

I have just got hold of this frame, and some minty GT profiles. I can't decide whether to put forks with lugs and a front brake on it or do it as a race/trails machine.
It's going to be mostly chrome colourwise. Going with early Holmes (cockerel) decals too as I just like them.

Ben if you are gonna sell them forks then talk to me dude

also good luck in finding some cockereal decals for the bike, i've been looking for the past 2 years for me mk1 Holmes and still not got the full set $:-\$

I haven't got the forks mate. I know where there's some cheap inch and an eighth pitchforks though if that's what you need...
Im confident of getting the decals sorted via a complex web of accomplices, infiltration, code-breaking and subterfuge. Watch this space.
