Looking forward to seeing that built up - supposed to be a pretty burly frame non?

My current project...

yer the frames made from the same steel as the bmxs
i imagine its gonna be burly
mines the 56 so its barspinnable with 700c on not my thing but to others its a good feature
just tryna decide on what components now

nice build VV, wanna see it at wests soon. like the bar set up, need a paul lever in white on there and a black chain :)

I like what you've done with old alfie!

Andy w: they're good frames, I rode that un for a while before I decided it was too small. Heaps of fun and ugly as me!

isn't it about time you finished building that nice Bob Jackson?

;-)

Its practicaly finished. Just need to buy and install a campy pista chainset (bloody credit crunch). I not in a big hurry though, its not exactly skinny tyre weather up here ;)

that colour scheme is christmas themed!

Now you've said it. Thats really going to do my nut in, come January.

I demand sir, that you write a letter to my mrs. Informing her that it is perfectly acceptable that I build a bike for every festive season.

;)

small furry the pic of the wheel is fabulous...

Cheers!
I shall +rep my 2 year old on your behalf ;)

Bloody hell. Should have finished mine by now but I can't afford the last few bits. So here are some not very good photos of my 90% finished bike.

Loving the Bob.

what rims are those tricity?

@tricity: Wow very nice indeed. Are those rims pink or violet?

Nice ride. I reckon some pink tape is in order though.

I disagree, you'll loose the brake lever highlight!

Finally finished my long overdue wheel build. 1960's Campagnolo Gran Sport hubs (rear is a flip flop) laced onto Open Pro CD rims. And before anyone says it, I prefer the sticker look.

Only downside is that I had to dish the rear wheel over by 4mm to get a 42mm chainline.

And I also finally finished my Peugeot conversion.

Frame is Tomasito's old one.

Beater/pub/gig steed...ready for battle. Made up of bits from the old spares box.

you sure have some dandy bikes alex!

Cheers Gus! There may well be a couple more on the way....oops!
