My long overdue Neil Orrell build

I bought this Neil Orrell from @Fox about 3 years ago now and since then the frame has been living under the bed at my parent's house whilst I decide how to best do it justice.

It's my 30th birthday this year and building this up is going to be my present from my other half, I'll document the build process here for anyone who is interested.

Black or grey ano for sure!

Nah, It's going to have all silver parts so it's got to be silver rims too! @BigH

I vote for dark rims, silver spokes, silver parts

Silver rims!

TB14 yeah?

I think Silver rims is still the way I plan to go, my options are:

Mavic Open Pro
Velocity A23
H+Son TB14

araya ct19

most defo TB14 from that list.

No Open pro, because narrow
No A23, because not box section

box section = $W€G

I'm with @amey on this one, the frame is so rowdy that box section TB14 is the way to go. Keep it classy.

Kinlin ADHN are dece too

Silver! :)

I like Archetype the wide shape really does make tyre sit better but can't beat a classic box section if you want the rim to be more period correct looking.

Dark grey tb14

I'd always wondered where this had ended up!

Looking forward to seeing it built.

I hope I do it justice, I think I have a good plan!!

In that case, ban the Third Reich who inhabit the Porn thread from here.

That's a really beautiful frame. Cant wait to see the build. You're definitely right that silver parts will look best. What are the dimensions? It looks quite long and relaxed. Will it be quite a laid back ride?

Quite right, screw the bike nazis..

Frame looks rad, Caz!

Bling Bling! Will this be a commuter or for purely for the track?

It will be track and posing only, it's brakeless so not one for the roads for me. Awaits flaming
