450 for a second hand cromoly frame. Lolnothx. Just cannot comprehend why anyone would spend that cash when a Pompino or an Inbred will do almost the same thing.

JB, just remind me again, how many gansta's did you tried to buy last year?

Ok, they're getting rarer and yours does sound nice, but £800 for frame kit only?! Woah!

There was a *complete *V1 that sold a while back with Thomson, Sugino and Phil components for around what you're asking.

If your price was halved you'd have my cash coming your way (despite the modified forks).

That was mine last year..paid 860 complete

When it got trashed i spoke to Matt @ Talbot who offered to make me a new one for 850ish...

If i get Argos to build a new frame around my Bridge BB is it still an NJS frame?

for 800 I will let mine go as well.... ��

At £800 you're all smoking your socks.

Fuck this - I'm mailing Ted...

I hope youre serious!

last time I mailed him he didnt write anything back. Good luck!

haha, i had a similair idea a while back, order in 4130 tubes from true temper, and get a framebuilder to build me a gangsta-esque bike but with steeper ht and st angles. the dropouts on tonic's have always looked cool to me with non-tapered stay's

Basically i want a tonic with gangsta clearances/forks

If you just want to make a TIG frame you can have a shot yourself for doing that .. even MAX can be tig welded: http://instagram.com/p/lprdaKyR5Y/

isn't jimjamosullivan starting out framebuilding?

could do a talbot style starter deal to raide interest...

I can tig :)

Needle practice before I make a frame though.

Most fun I ever had during college. Makes me wish I had a garage.

You could try making a frame out of needles first.

There is some sort of forum group talent exchange (maybe for money) idea there

Can't be long before LFGSS makes their own frame. Model name; Indrascructable.

it'll never last

You have the most abusive tester to trial everything you build at least.

This convo has changed quite quick.

Just picked up my V1 from Tom Donhou - had the rear triangle re-aligned and some dents filled. Tom did a cracking job on it. CP to follow.

Is the one that got run over?

Yeah - had it properly checked over and put on the jig - seems to be fine now though
