so I figure the purple and neon yellow is a reminescence to the adr team colours

@Sig_Arlecchino , I need a frame like that to complete this wheelset I had in my shed for years (and only recently "identified"):

DIBS when you get tired of it

Nice, really like those old Vibe seatposts

Thanks, you've motivated me to have another crack at it later!

looks great, glad the forks were of use!

Nice, that calls for an ADR team replica! Might be hard to find one though, I've only ever seen the adr replicas with lesser grade tubing.

indeed... Saw many coming in "Sprinter" model, not the one made from SLX.

Ugh - that feeling when you've got all the components of a complete new groupset down to the cables and bar tape.. but the wrong bottom bracket tool.

I'm starting a new job in August and my commute to work has gone from 1.5 mile to 15 miles each way! So need a new bike for that obviously! Hmmm, what to do.

Final piece of the puzzle. I put on the front rack and a new chainring.
Now I just have to decide how long before I need to try it with drop bars.

building another neo retro. Needs other saddle and some cages that go with the rest of the colours.

You need a cinelli oyster. It's got a hinge that'll allow for tricky bars to be installed.

Orlowski sent a picture of how the BB cluster for my frame is looking- it's been worth the wait!

Re instated the original forks on the Bob Jackson, really didn't like the look of the drilled chrome road forks on it, invested in a clamp on brake and been riding these for the last two weeks... I love that bike, it's my middle age crisis bike I've decided. Will put some less good wheels if i carry on using it daily, they're a bit too good for London commuting to my taste...

Looks ace! He must have sent more than one pic though...

Interestingly he sent a few of that cluster but I've not seen the whole thing yet.
Got this one from much earlier in the process...

Congrats that is really tastefully built

Today I have been mostly changing a tyre. Tuesday's pre-ride check was obviously not that thorough given that it looked like this when I spotted the issue on Thursday :)
