I never really got any nice parts around this Rourke.
Street gear in the pic, but ~47-18 atm. I mostly ride it with a riser.

This is worth a bump now, that guy has finished his bike and it looks ace!

lush frame!

and that red track rourke up there makes me sorely tempted to put threadess carbon forks on my Rixon...

Got this in the post, will update once it's build up:

YES! :p

Did you just win that on ebay?

I was tempted to get it for myself. It's a lovely looking frame.

^Yes.
It was listed complete few weeks ago, and I didn't have enough cash, so was quite happy to see it re-listed as a frame set, wheels, cranks etc.

Good work how much did you get it for if you don't mind me asking.

The only reason I decided not to bid on it is I'm really after a modern frame with 1"1/8th steerer.

It'll be interesting to see how you'll build it up, my choice would be silver seatpost and track bars with black tape, stem and saddle rolling on a pair of low flange silver hubs and silver rims.

Good buy!

I think it's a bargain at £215 posted. Thank you for not bidding :)

Not sure how it's going to be build yet, got a mish mash of parts at home atm. Either as you described but with grey rims or all black. Maybe with a brake, as I fancy road bars with levers. First will swap DA bits from Roberts probably, until I gather more needed parts.

You can sell me your Roberts now then ;)
