yeah man, £20 is well cheap.

you want the grey and green hombre anyway?

if not i might get a volume frame and build a budget bike.

(if i do can i join your thread?)

yep! do your budget build!

its all about being tight, begging favours and having a bit of imagination to restore or modify stuff to fit your theme.

It will be interesting to see how much it all comes to, and what the pro's and cons are of doing it this way, as compared to buying a complete.

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #15 on:** March 04, 2009, 09:28 AM »

Oh, and have you updated your costings, or are you getting scared.......

sweetbeats · « **Reply #16 on:** March 04, 2009, 09:49 AM »

Looks cool that bru but it reminds me of sunderland and I am a geordie

pickle · « **Reply #17 on:** March 04, 2009, 09:50 AM »

looking well nice that Bru.......yeah i'd get shot of those pegs and also change the tyres.......those lamellos would've looked good.....but some Haro white walls?

i was playing spot the diference for while as well

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #18 on:** March 04, 2009, 09:51 AM »

Ive had a few bits offa the postie too.

Logan army bars, £10 off the bay, £15 posted

TNT stem, £17 off the bay, machining on this is lovely, hollowed out underneath, bolts are a bit rusty though.

Red anno headset spacers, Bru do you need some of these? ive only used 1. £7 off the bay.

the forks were pretty long and have a welded nut, but thats fine, i like high bars, as it makes it seem like your less likely to go over the top of them....looks a bit like a fllexfighter

Ame tri's, from the shed.......is this a cost? Oldschool touch no1

Oldschool touch no2

£7 posted

cheapy halfords clamp, seems ok though decent machining. £2.99

Primo son of a bomb wheel, jibbed of a local bike shop, going out of buisness now, but who i used to get my stuff off bitd. he had a few quality bits in a display cabinet an good prices.
£35, pricey, but nicey.

Cometey goodness. buy one get one free as long as you pay 15 quid posted.

another £97 in total. hmm.

dont diss the tyres.....lol

i like whitewalls, and lammellos, but you get told off from stodgy if you have anything but black on new schools apparently.

Bru, thats looking both
a:Sic, and
B:Phat.

Strip the pegs though. its fickle, i think on a rider, but i think you should get it looking nice for its first outing, then any subsequent damage, rust or scratching only adds to it.
