good man jammy - look forward to seeing it!

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

That as my original intention, but the silver one was going cheap. The bike as a whole is very comfortable but very heavy.

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

Nice one Jammy
Looking forward to seeing that!
Gonna be sweet!

TT fork? Or did you hit it with the Black and Decker?

TT frame innit?

Cheers Propeller.

Sammy the tyres on mine are 28 marathon plus, clearances at the back are tight too.
I only realised not long ago that swords have a forwards sloping top tube. Dont know how that effects stuff but the bike is bloody comfortable.

Randos have gotta be way smaller then! I've got like a 9mm between my tyre and fork crown. The back is tight though, i used a half link and run it slammed, theres like 1mm clearance tyre to seat tube.
Yea i love how its gt a slight forward slope top tube. I've got wide, low rise bars on mine with a 120mm stem, handles so well!

Finally got all that packaging off - broke a pair of scissors doing it too, but I'm pretty happy with the contents!

Well, you should be. Stunning paintwork.

very nice

brilliant - wider pic please!

Thanks, I have this one, apologies for background/lack of a better photo:

It's maybe hard to tell in the photos but the yellow is metallic too...

Nice! :-)

Not feelin the TT decals though

who made that?

They don't look good in that photo, they look fine in real life (honest).

Not feelin the TT decals though

Neil Orrell, he's based up in Manchester, this is an 80s track frame that used to be used for his team, which had the blue and yellow colours. Not metallic though, that was me ;)

Looks great Fox!

I've been out bmxing with him. True story.

Still not a great pic but this is more what the whole frame looks like:

DEFO needs the TT decals taking off

Needs a SUPREME sticker.

I was just sat here thinking actually they're not that different.

The 'logos on every single tube' thing is kind of an Orrell tradition though, plus they're under the clear coat...

Thanks, hope you noticed the sticker!

Looks great Fox!
