Ha, was that saddle angle comfortable?

Surely not!

it was not

What's that cable doing going from your front break to the seat?

doubles as a belt

also might not have had wire cutters that day

but why would the cable for the front brake even be that long? Nothing makes sense.

This is my "bike" it was a perfectly good Viscount 10 speed before I got my hands on it.
Any way first build and I was on a super tight budget.
( Brake went on 2 mins after this photo was taken)

Does anybody own a front-loading quill stem that they'd like to sell me? Preferably black.

What happened to it?

^wet the sheets.

Waited for you to put a photo of the whole bike up with great excitement, I'm glad to say it has not disappointed, looks great.

Who built it for you?

not sure why you have such tight clearance at the front thoguh, surely those tyres will kick all kinds of crap into the fork crown?

regardless, it looks sick.

Bet you were like a child at christmas Jammy!
looking sweet man!

What colour you going for?
cant wait to see it in the flesh.

What happened to it?

chainstay cracked, bumpy ass roads in kernow.

Ricky at Feather cycles! It's off the the coaters today for a clear today!

The crowns so tight as I'm running 47c tyres, and that's the longest 29er fork stays he could get!

i wouldn't clear coat it. looks really nice though.

gonna look amazing.

What would you do? I love being able to see the brazing...
I see paint job's as a non-permanent decision though. Strip and dip and I can change the colour!

clear almost always looks unfinished to me. especially with fillet brazing.

i'd do a plain white powdercoat with a deep red FEATHER logo. that just comes to mind immediately. i'm sure there are lots of choices. but something clean and understated. that with all black/steel parts.

i liked a racing green ricky feather with white letters that i saw a while back on here. plush
