^^ That's genius, and well deserving of every penny made - Wish I'd thought of it myself.
I'm not that keen on slapping my face up on the interwebs, and as a child I purchased a few of those "secrets of SAS survival" manuals at Bargainbooks so it seemed the most amusing way to retain anonymity!!
^It's actually Continental rim cement that I'm bleeding in that pic, proper oldschool
Update on the build:
Today I've been mostly riding 1*8 (52 x 12-25)
DA mech was fine on 8-speed and the ratio's were perfect for riding around these parts and I can swap it out for a 48T for longer/hillier rides.
I think that settles it - I'll do a proper cold-setting of the rear triangle and the "RSPCA rehousing" will go from there...
