I preferred the frame as was to be honest

My new project.

Fort Track frame (rubbish photos I know)

Going to refinish the frame with original head and down tube decals and yellow green paint job.

All components black, mavic open pro rims, goldtec hubs, nitto pusuit bars, phil wood BB and sugio crankset.

If only my cash flow would allow me to finish it sooner.... i'll have to wait till mid feb!

I bought the same frame last week, although mine is in better condition.

I got a pair of the carbon forks here (They're 1" - Quite hard to come by at such a cheap price):

They need drilling though, which aint a problem.

I still have those blue undrilled steel forks if you're interested.

Me to but you can't ride a frame. I'm currently on the look out for a different frame to SS, and will probably put this one back the way it was intended, geared FTW.

Thought i'd post it up fully finished.

Bit of a schoolboy error fitting white Rubino's in the middle of winter. They're yellow & brown already plus nigh on useless in white conditions.

Ahh, I meant before the re-spray

The paint shop were doing an M3 this colour and put the bike in with it. Tha photo showed the good side before the respray, other side very bad. The decals were stencilled on, I might tinker around to see if I can get the font and add them in yellow. Also just got some drops and black bar tape. May get changed a few times before I decide if it stays SS or not.

My lo-pro now has it's first couple of coats of primer on it and is already starting to look damn nice....getting excited about this project now...:)

cant wait to see it

its a brilliant lever so far, but could do with more bar space on the tops, the caliper is a cheapy job, not sure to be honest, came on an sworks langster

I can see what your saying mate, think it's just the light/angle of photo.

i think its because there is a cream piece of wood behind it
distorting the view

its straight, i think i took a bad pic there what with the frame being the same colour as the door frame.

These are nice. 1990s?
Do you mind me asking how much you paid for yours.

...this This just needed a building (black wheelset & parts) to be really pretty special.

So many nice bikes being put together at the mo!

Hello folks,

I'm a courier and novice framebuilder.
Just thought I'd mention that I bought a set of Reynolds Cantiflex main frame tubes from Charlie for £50 incl postage. They were produced in 1996 from 531, and are in great condition, as good as a recent batch of 853 that I bought new. Charlie has more sets and is very friendly and easy to deal with. The tubes were despatched promptly and well packaged.
