I was joking last night with a mate about putting her brand new FFWD 4 spokes on it!
@JB I love the beefy fork on it personally, it's worked out just how I'd hoped.
I think the size and placement of the Talbot badge works too. It's just on the one leg (the front light will be perched on one leg too) and there's no headbadge, so I reckon it shows a nice clear separation from the Eastway and the Talbot bits.
The asymmetry & paint also makes the bike look Industrial and practical, to my mind, which again was what I wanted and has turned out better than I had hoped.
I full appricate it's each to there own though :)
I'm really looking forward to seeing it built up. My worry now is that the old Apex group lets it down (esp the cranks) and carries on the practical/industrial theme.
I just have to remember it's primarily an everyday workhorse.........mainly :)
