My Latest Build You've Never Heard Of! (Now With Radberry's!)

[oldschoolace]

They're the Wellgo ones. Virtually identical but half the price! 

Cool, have been looking at getting those but the ones on ebay look odd, like the white plastic is too bright/tranlucent and it makes them look cheap.

Yours look ace 

[renegaderacer]

Nearly there! Spent a couple of hours tonight, cleaning up the rims with a scalpel, then went to fit the rear wheel and noticed a spacer's missing from the drive side! 

A handful of washers will suffice, me thinks!  Fitted the front brake but it was getting late and I couldn't be arsed to fiddle around with the Rotor and rear brake.

Should be able to finish it off tomorrow, with the decals going on last to crown it all off. Please note, the tyres are only temporary (and aren't pumped up in the shots) until better ones turn up (although they'll make great riders)!

Finally finished her off today!  (still haven't pumped the tyres up though)

When/if funds allow, I will replace the wheels and tyres  with more appropriate ones but these will do to get her rolling (until I snap the wheels!) 

The amazing work of Dan and Del have transformed this bike and I absolutely love it now! 

When the weather stops raining, I'll get her out for some proper photo's but these will have to do for now.

That looks absolutely fantastic Giles!!I love it!I reckon some radberry Haro tyres are the way forward,will match the frame better than lavender!

Have to agree with you on the tyres. Before I built her I thought lavender was the way to go but it's got to be radberry's now!

Agree on the tyres, if you can't find the Haro ones (not seen any for a while now) i'd go cheap white ones from porkshop

Hmmm...even Pork Chop doesn't seem to have them now(as well as the white!)Retrospect used to have the Haros at resonable money,but doesn't seem to anymore.There is a radberry pair of Haros on the bay at £250,crazy money!Have seen them for around £50 in radberry.Will keep an eye out Giles

[deeman]

a pair went on museum for $125 much better!

Trouble is when those kind of tyres come up on the museum, they go straight away at that money. Oh well, a set will turn up one day!

Sun came out so I pumped the tyres up (finally!) and got her out for a few shots.

As has been agreed on; a set of radberry's would finish her off a treat but this is all your getting for now!

never heard of that one, sweet bike. ...though I'm not exactly sure about the pedals (any suggestions...?), maybe it's just me... And much will be done with matching tires. Looking forward to that

There not my first choice of pedals but I'm trying to keep to spec, so have to stick to these.

A very nice bike there Giles.

Are the tyres really that close to the brake bridges? Is it just the photos?
