The Classic British Touring Bike

Flo, seriously check out velo-orange.com. The dude is unreal in that shop with repro racks and fucking weird, rad misc shit (japanese sound bells muffukkah!)

I'm totally bumming on the no us shipping of most shit on uk ebay too. Goddamn lazy as limey and their not wanting to pack crap. grrr. What kind of set up are you looking at making? I might know some good US hookups.

unfortunately i already know velo-orange, rivbikes and the likes (i collected all kinds of links on another computer). the thing is, i live in austria, not the US, nor UK. over here i get nothing but overpriced shit from overseas...

as i won't be able to get my hands on a nice british frame (skully and 128, those bikes are beauties!!) i'm going to build up an austrian frame that i got for free:

reynolds (531)

my plans so far:

• copper plating + original graphics
  
• 3gear-fixed hub from sturmey archer
  
• son- hub dynamo
  
• maybe a moustache bar

no idea what/where to get: saddle bag (à la nigel smythe); front rack, that allows brakes and doesn't look shite
