Neil Orrell Bendy tube track build

Great shot - those all parts on the floor shots get me very excited.

Haha, cheers. I've never had the patience to not just fit something as soon as it arrives, took so much self control..

This is gonna be ffffire!!

oh this is going to be good!

Will get a better photo later, literally threw it together then jumped on it to get to work on time. Pretty chuffed though

100% kicking myself for not pulling the trigger and getting that frame. Looks very nice! how does it ride?

Love it

Looks aggy. Good work.

And another little pic now the sun's out.
@dirac I'm really sorry, but I'm so glad you didn't, it's sooo smooth to ride

@Antidotes @monkdagola thanks very much, really chuffed with this!

That frame is so incredibly rad! Have you considered a seatpost with less setback and a longer stem? Or do you prefer the 'cruiser' setup? I guess it's ideal for wheelies with the saddle almost over the rear hub.

Thanks bud, yeah I was thinking something had to change, don't get me wrong it's absolutely lovely to ride, but I'd noticed my weight was distributed differently to other builds and I needed to be a little further forward

This is rad as hell as it is, will be uber-rad with another seatpost, a longer stem and some compacts!

(insert something about a brake + won't somebody think of the children meme)

Haha me too, I wouldn't have known how to treat a beauty like this properly. Probably would have ended blaspheming and putting some crap parts on it from impatience and pure ignorance. Looking great though!

Got a lovely dura ace seatpost with less setback from @übergrube (can't work out how to type the name and have the site recognise the letters, but anyway thanks!) anyone have a longer stem, similar kind of angle but 130mm and 25.4 clamp?

Badass frame. Seat cluster is ... interesting! Head lugs are beautiful.

Let me know if you fancy getting rid of that Nitto seat pin?

so good. white saddle and grips really suit this. how long is your current stem?

Looking great.

Yeah it's so interesting, love the extra detail around the seatpost clamp! Thanks man! Going to try the nitto in the rossin and if it doesn't fit I'll give you a shout!

Thank you, yeah I really think the lighter colours manage to show the frame off a little more. I think it may be 110..? Haven't measured it to be honest, it's not marked and it was just a random one out of my parts bin

Thank you bud!! Those wheels on yours came up beautifully!!
