Starting a project thread because @BareNecessities lamented that nobody does them anymore. I told him 5/6 years ago that if he ever wanted to sell this frame, I’d take it. Picked it up this afternoon.

Also collected some OEM wheels off an OTP Specialized from a non-forumenger, with a couple of broken spokes. Will see to that shortly.

Not sure what to build with this, really. It certainly won’t happen quickly.

Lbs posted a pic of one of these today after I glanced at this yesterday and suddenly I want one. Seem like a do it all bike for life.
I would probably end up with a similar dilemma though - what to actually do with it??
Interested to see where it goes!

Realised today that the wheels are pretty much FUBAR. So that’s not going to speed anything up.

I absolutely love the one SBC have on their site with a Rohloff and racks.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
