  • Come on guys, all we need now is:

    headset (1 1/8th integrated), a front hub, and spokes

    I'll throw in some free beers for whomever provides the last elements - heck, for whomever shows up for the final build, which I plan to do in Regents Park next Sunday....

  • okay guys the build is THIS WEEKEND (location TBC... either Regents Park or my house) need to sort the parts this week. Easiest way to collect would be to turn it into a 'build day' event in the park....

  • I have a friend with 100-150 pounds and the need for a beater/commuter. I will build the bike but I need all the parts. Here's a reference photo of a bike he likes (not my taste) of which he would like similar:

    So here's how it works:

    1) copy and paste the bit below and add your name, the part you can contribute (that's needed) and the price you want for it.
    2) subtract the amount from the total.
    3) goto 1

    Eternally grateful!


    REMAINING TOTAL: 150


    • BenJam, building the thing, £0

    So the answer is.. you can't build the bike in the photograph for £150?

  • who siad I wanted the bike in he shot? it's just a guide for style...

  • so what is the outcome to this?

  • ^ that fella needs a can of hipster sweat.
