I swear 'technically' must be your favourite word ever.

Literally SHIT MY PANTS!

Any indication how much you paid in total?

Yes I paid around §1000 for Colnago, Cinelli, Two Olmos, Tommasini Aero seatpost and Tommasini Aero 650c forks. All the frames came with Gipiemme and Campag bista BB and headset.

The Tommasini LoPro was something around 250 with Campag pista panto cranks, Campag Pista BB and headset.From Ebay.

I will let one Olmo go when I find forks for the Colnago

got a nice plain white sort of beater frame, will post pics when im finished with her!

the excitment of a new project!

got given this yesterday:

it has full horizontal dropouts and acres of clearance, so i'm fitting it with massive knobbly tyres, cable disc brakes and a SS kit to make it into a rigid "fun bike" for throwing around in the woods

You should look up what forks it originally came with. If it was designed for long travel forks it might feel a bit shit with shorter rigid ones.

Pylon comes with a rigid fork, apparently without any extra length to allow for changing to a suspension fork.

what a colour

Nice one. Like the go-kart on the right.

yep, came with a rigid fork, but imagine it with a pink on-one cro-mo fork up front, big knobbly tyres and SS rather than hub gear should happen over the next week or so, and if I hate it it might make a good polo bike for a beginner I think...

oh and the go-kart is a customers an old raleigh original with fixed drivetrain and a single rod brake!

just finished, first project...

get some foot retention, drops or risers, a little longer stem and tighten up your chain and you will have a really nice looking bike.

Would look better with some decals I think, if you know who made the frame

Yeah I really like that, but I'd follow Superjoe's advice, and change the colour of your brake cable.

saafe, what colour dya rekkon for the cable also if not what about red lined tires?

Finished my latest project looking forward to riding it tommorow.Cheers to Gizmond for getting the wheels to me so quick.
