Retro Carlton Super Corse Rusty. Every day ask yourself "Today am going to do what I truly want to do?"......

Cool project, please don't turn it into a "fixie" they're not trendy any more and too many nice old road frames have been ruined. It might cost more but it would be nicer to build a road bike with period correct parts of that era. It'll do it much more justice

Hi Phil
Sorry I've already pulled the trigger on which way this one is heading. A couple of modifications mean Im commited.... Sigh

What is that quote etched on, can't see if it's the frame or some other bar.
'todo'?

The quote is hand etched onto copper, I'll post some more pics soon showing location

It would annoy the .....* out of me to have "todo" when it should be "to do" and "to many" when it should be "too many".
*Can't type F words on work computer.

Priceless.

@Spokesmann

oops!

you've missed hitting the centre on most of the holes

You try hitting a centre after 6 Stella's

Constable savage your obviously low ranking if your only allowed a computer that doesn't let you use four letter words. You shouldn't mock people you don't know it shows a lack of self respect

Cool you've found another picture

is it copper bath pipe?

Nope its off a toilet so as to be more anal:-)
Bored of this place now, I've got more interesting things to do

Read what I wrote. I did not mock you I just said having those spelling mistakes would annoy the fuck out of me. I am of no rank whatsoever now but I work at a private school with a number rules and regulations over what you can do on their IT system.
I can write FUCK now as I am not at work at this time, which is very liberating. You're a bit of a knob as you're using "your" when you mean to use "you're".

And todo when you mean to do

Don't be to hard on him

It would annoy the .....* out of me to have "todo" when it should be "to do" and "to many" when it should be "too many".

@AlexD I'm fucking lovely and you can't bate me.

Just reiterating your point ;)

Wouldn't dream of it, I was just trying out his idiosyncratic spellings :-)

Mee two.

Don't flounce.

You've clearly got some ability, it's just the tangent you've taken is a little "left - field".

As such you can expect a bumpy ride.

But hold fast and win us around: cf Polkadot and his papier mache aero helmet or JD Mitch's dropouts of death (RIP).

The only thing the forum loves more than baiting a mad scientist, is backing one.

Keep the faith and roll with the punches!

:) xx

Have you replaced that seatstay with a copper pipe?
