'My little despot balance bike' - Talbot Frameworks

Very nice! needs better pictures:)

If I could vote 5 stars again I would.

Moar photos please!

hahahaha! great stuff. same colourscheme is perfect!

So good. Thread needs more pics!

I haven't managed to take proper photos in my usual location yet. 1, because I haven't finished sourcing the final parts for it, and 2 because I am not allowed to touch the bike whilst LO is awake. LO is mumsnet slang for little one. Isn't that cute?

I did however manage to get a few photos of it in it's nearly finished form. It still needs a black thomson stem and clamp. I have sourced a nice quality, short black quill stem, I will have to cut it down though, so haven't fitted it yet. There was also some confusion with the decals, and the forks have a reynolds decal on them. I will be getting rid of that and relaquering over, when I find an eighth day in the week.

This is a shot of the fork mod that was needed for the monster tyres. I think it works quite well. There is an imperfection in the paint which I will take back when I redo the laquer:

Seat cluster detail:

So much radness.
Needs risers and rear disc wheel...

So good...

What wheels did you use, Matt? I'm trying to get hold of a pair for a planned project.

That things rad.
Now you can do this when you win the Tour:

Bringing this back to the top....
Have you considered doing something similar for the "first pedal bike"?

Asking for a friend.

Does it barspin - or do the bars get caught on the saddle?

that's win pie all round...

Yeah, first pedal bike is going to be in production within the next year.

Second balance bike is also in the offing for the second born. Watch this space....
