Looks like a show frame. Especially the stem…👌

Great stem and seat stay ends

Lovely work as always Winston. ♥️

Were these pictures taken on the bonnet of your car?

Yes jon , the workshop is to dark for the camera

Brilliant!

This is what the stainless steel seat stay top eyes will look like after painting, but in black powder coat instead of the pink

I don't ride/build show ponies, but if Winston's going to do Bespoked next year I could always ride it up to Manchester.

Ah so your frame? What colour are you going for?

Of course it's mine, there can't be too many Jons who are repeat customers at Varonha.
I always say 'third time's a charm' (actually, I've never said that, until now).
Frame, fork and stem are going to be black with sparkles.

I was going to do a build thread once I'd received it, and come up with a suitably ridiculous thread title, current front runner is 'Reversing the Vazectomy'.

That pink one now lives in Switzerland and it's safe to say it's my favourite bike. Thanks both @jontea and Winston

Glad it's being enjoyed.

Sounds like an episode title from Project Binky :D

Waited til I got home to google that, to be on the safe side ;)

It's about the only car related youtube I still follow. The level of tinkering is unbelievable.

Great stuff Winston ! Always nice to see your work!
My Varonha's now almost 10 years old. Still my favorite and most used bike!

Thanks loic, I wanted to build the stem a bit different from yours ,so the middle tube is teardrop shaped

Very cool, please keep the pictures coming!

Looking forward to seeing this frame painted up

Wait.... @jontea, you're getting another Varonha? Is this number two or number three now?
Excited to follow the progress.
