Title: Chrome Holmes almost finished
Post by: SaMAlex on March 08, 2007, 08:08 PM

Finally got a chance to put some more bits onto this bike that has been part built for a while. Im really pleased with how it looks. Just gotta fit a brake and cable, then freewheel and chain and I can take it for a spin.

(big thanks to Harris for the wheels and cranks, General Lee for the frame and forks, Stodgy for the stem, and YGT for the seat and post. Hang on, Im not sure I get any credit for this build! ha ha)

Cool, thanks. I was going to ask if I can take that sticker off. I have got an unused Prince Albert sticker that would be great to make repros from. Can anyone help?

Id like to take a pic of me riding the bike doing a killer lookback jump.
OK, step 1: Learn Killer Lookback jumps!

Seen that one in the flesh and the pics don't do it justice Alex - hopefully it'll be coming the MK for all to see!

Sweet build my freind.

Funny you say that about the comp 3s. First of all I put some brand new V monsters on but it didnt look right, too ramp. I then had a rummage round the shed and found some all black tioga comp 3s I didnt even know I had. They look soooo much better, really make the bike.
