Bob Jackson path frame. Frame No 332. If it is (as advised on purchase) an old BJ, they've told me it'll be from 1935/6.

Just about there now barring a few minor mudguard related issues. It's finally road-worthy anyway. Chainring and levers to be replaced. Possibly bartape and saddle too. Need a shorter stem also:

judging by the height of the saddle, i'd say the frame is too big for him

Ha. Win

I like the bike support fo rthe pic

Looks good, dooks. Freewheel?

thanks skully, nope, fixie (no) skidder.

although now you mention it, i've been riding geared for the best part of three months while building this and man did i miss the freewheel coming down blackfriars road on that small fixed gear this morning.

Oh lord look what just turned up

Pretty much finished now.

Lovely! S75 black chainring would be my only change ;-)

Thats just a cable guide (on the headtube) you know. 4mm gear outer should fit through fine. If not its too full of paint. Then into those thingys Tileover linked too.

Sorry just noticed someone else already mentioned this.

Tuesday night best perhaps!

Went to the Bike Whisperer yesterday and my new position seems to be giving me much more power, combined with these should see me flying up the hills*

*by flying up I mean struggling manfully as per usual, just with prettier wheels

@sorethroat, saw the sword outside college today, looked a treat. love the paintwork around the lugs, brilliant.

Cheers Miller. Im the cunt sat in the lobby next to the computers watching people fill out surveys. Worst part is that i graduated last year. I wish I had a proper job!

maiden voyage to the spa cycles to get me a 15t sprocket so my chain will fit and bring it up to a respectable 84GI for grindy time trials.... so far so good, will adjust the stem to knock 10 or 20mm off though (i love that thing)

edit : lowered and shortened stem now - feels much better!

Everyone thinks I represent the student union! I feel like such a bellend.
Finished my last day today though. Off for and interview with The New Statesman at 3.00pm.

Also, theres nothing wrong with being UAL staff. For working in the shop you get payed something like £11 and hour with holiday pay too. Not too shabby.

black open pro ceramic (so they'll stay that colour)

Just found this in my photobucket, abandoned project:

Photoshop project?!

Some people really know how to box a frame and forks up:

Haven't actually opened these parcels yet, the anticipation is killing me!

Cricket bat?

May i ask why you're posting photos on the internet rather than manically ripping through newspaper?

Just paid Ricky Feather for my trick frame. AHH.
I'm now going to hound him 'till it's finished! :)
