Chucked some parts on the frame I'm building for the velodrome customer and took it round the block. Rides straight (after a little cold setting) and looks pretty nice too IMO. Got to polish up the headtube badge and the frame number tag under the bb which are both stainless but other than that its done.
Handover on Thursday, it's going as a bare frame, customer works in construction and wants the raw look but protected, he says he can get it lacquered or clear powder coated through work so I'm leaving that to him.
Customer has purchased a Steamroller fork to use with the frame as I reckoned he would get a full fork, ready to go for about what the tubes etc to build a fork would cost me, plus I haven't done a fork yet. I've got one 90% finished but not comfortable enough with the process to want to do it for someone else yet. Luckily I have my own Steamy fork too so chucked that on and the angles are bang on where I wanted them.
