Current Projects chat and miscellany

I agree with the other guys. For you first build, on a budget, you've done a good job there. It looks a lot nicer than what I started on. What frame is it? Other than the clearance at the back it looks like a pretty good frame. The heart shaped lugs on the forks makes me think it's a Dawes?

I wouldn't go on that. I have seen loads of bikes with that lug. Hell, my 50's Freddie Grubb has those lugs. They are part of the Nervex Professional range, although other manufacturers may have copied them...
