Thought I'd post up a few pics of my project.
This is my first, been doing it about 3 weeks, want it on the road for winter as I'm getting unfit (mainly through drinking copious amounts of jack daniels on weekends) and my old golf doesn't like the cold weather.
So here goes..
This the frame I started with.
Dropouts were already cut off..
So i got some welded in..
While I was at it I had the rear hub shortened to 120mm, all the holes i didn't need, for the badge, rear brake bits and bottle holder have all been smoothed.
The frame is currently at shot blasting / powder coating, it'll be back this week, it's gonna be green frame with brown forks.
While it's been away I got these off a mate for £5.
and made them look like this...
Now just waiting on some money to buy some wheels and the other bits and bobs as I have nothing :D
I'll keep updating as it goes along if anyone cares haha.
It'll be nice to have something that's "mine" at the end of it
