Its a Bridgestone Keirin frame, the decals are in White so its hard to see them against the pearlesant paint. It my second project the other being a beater replica Merckx.
I'm aware of the frying pan Sugino Zen too, pointed out by some at Wests! I have changed it to a 19 sprocket from the original 15 i bought for the tweed run and it felt fine.For some reason i must have thought i was the incredible hulk but am planning to change the front ring in future to something a little smaller.
Thanks to Dale (Dogsballs) i got the wheels sorted for the Tweed run after my failed first attempt to wheel build, the picture of bewilderment on Dales face when i went to pick them up was priceless, lets just say i wont be giving up my day job!
Anyhows the names Shane so if you see me around dont be scared to say hello.
