potentially for sale now - or swap for light road bike. PM me if interested but not in a rush!

what speed?

subbed - sounds nice

Thanks! I'm in love with this build.. Dust caps are off, much better!

Mario didn't give me any tips on the paint apart from not to scrape it all off on his railings! Great chap though, it's a solid job

Does this guy do road frames?

Cheers guys. 52/16 isn't perfect for the Surrey hills but it works at the moment - I might gear down after i've broken it in a bit

Yep decals were eBay stickers and Mario applied the clear coat over the top.

undibs bars wrong size for me after all

Get rid of the rim stickers
Change the inner tube dust caps to black
Fit a seatpost pin

i want one of those

found a spacer! Parts flooded in at the last minute, so got a build together but not 100% complete yet - when is it ever 'finished'?!

Got the cranks installed first:

Then ALOT of autosol got some old pedals back to life.. new cages and straps:

Complete 52/16 drivetrain:

Also pretty happy with the clearances too.. Front forks are gappy - but looks OK for a road frame!

subscribed - both are awesome!

Progress! Went to see Mario Vaz today and got back a freshly painted BEAUTY! Crap photos for now - its dark and i'm sleepy

Paint job is overall very good - a couple of minor bits here and there are slightly off (i mean really small - hardly noticable) but by far 1000000x better than I ever could do, so not complaining. Reasonably priced too at £75.

Question: My forks are too long for my headset (see photo) do I:
a) buy spacers?
b) cut down my fork?

slowly making progress, took the frame off to see Mario on Monday, and is now waiting for me to collect. I have removed the anodizing using caustic soda (thanks for the tip drøn!) and polished the cranks up.

Annoyingly though it's left this weird black pitting in the place where there were marks and scuffs which I'm struggling to get out. not noticeable from a normal distance, but if you look closely it isn't great..

On the way to Mr Vaz's:

Shiny Cranks (with black bits):

dibs lever

second dibs brake

Condor looks perfect, will drop them an email, cheers!

Any photos you have would be super helpful if you get a chance

Looking for a Specialized Crosstop lever (either side) - but can't find them anywhere online in silver.

If there is one knocking about it will complete the parts list for a new build = Happy Will

Cheers!

2nd dibs wheel

I'll take the stem off your hands if you can post?

Pardon my ignorance.. What's the difference between a spray and powder coat? (Im restoring a Moser and am looking at options for paint) Can't wait to see how the Holdsworth looks!
