And gum wall tires. I see what he's done, I don't think it's bad. Not great, but not bad.

Cheers for noticing that mate, I had a right nightmare finding tyres in 26 x 1 1/4" with gum walls and a nice smooth tread pattern. Also I butchered 3 levers trying to get one to fit the odd sized bars only to end up using the original with a reversed cable routing (these levers are designed to slide on so it took me about an hour to fit it to the bars that I had already taped up). Took about another hour per wheel masking up the rims, spoke nipples and hubs to paint the spokes black.

I know it's not a perfect replica, It's only a budget build but I thought some people on here might be interested in seeing it.

haha.
Whatever my arse. It looks nothing like the Merx above it. Different geo, drop outs, tubing, colour, size and build. Whats a replica about it??? Seriously...

If you want to get anal it's Merckx. ;)
