So any of you other guys got an opinion on what you do like as opposed to what you don't ;)
If you had a few hundred quid spare, what frame would you look for?
-
I don't really want an NJS frame.
yeah i said it...
So, what do you want ...
-
NJS for 300. I wish.
Just said I'd become aware of them, not that I could afford one :)
-
You can probably get something quite nice for that. I personally keep an eye on Roberts frames on ebay and nice stuff for that kind of money are quite doable.
Cheers. Seeing what people's preferences and tastes are is good, just means I can learn more about frames/builders that I didn't know of previously. And see what's in my budget.
Have had my eyes opened to NJS and Koga Miyata just in these last few days. So there's loads of good stuff I'm not aware of.
-
black charger?
Ha, yes, very painful when mounting. Maybe that's why he's so grumpy.
-
Didn't wanna start a new thread, 'cos I don't have a project yet. I would like to pick your more knowledgeable brains though.
You're looking for a frame to build up, budget up to approx £300 for the frame + forks. What would you be looking at?
(I've been looking for Merckx, Colnago etc at the moment, missed out on a Dave Llyod ... but this forum is opening my eyes to some really nice stuff, so thought it might be worth asking).
-
Grumpy courier with his black Charger parked up outside my work who never says thanks when I keep the door open for him. Say thanks mofo.
-
He's certainly that.
-
Ha, only just found this thread. Some cool looking pets. Liking the cat in the bag !
Here's Sherlock. Not quite the quality of Whatok's photo's up there ^ ...

Totally 80s 7-Eleven Jacket. XL. Kinda cool in an over the top way.
For some reason I think of Karate Kid when I look at this top.
-
Pocket money that :|
-
Colnago Master TT Equilateral - holy crap
Look at that freaking seat tube.
-
Does she ride?
Yeah, but she doesn't seem to like helmets.
-
BJs are always excellent.
Tell that to Tulisa.
-
He just walked past my workplace on Quay Street. Aargh I was too slow to go and get him to sign a poster i did for the 2012 Tour. Crap.
-
Aye, cheers, am set on buying a frame now and building up. Missed out on the Dave Lloyd that was in the 'ebay finds' thread yesterday.
But aiming higher now :)
-
Mmmmmm doesn't seem to be like the super Mexico frame I have just got !!!!
Was that the Buy-It Now on ebay?
-
Paint jobs.
-
In what condition is it acceptable, in your opinion, to get a new paint job on a vintage frame? (Restoring original style paint)
I will classify condition in movie makeovers:
Julia Roberts - Pretty Woman
This is a hidden gem. It's looking pretty skanky after years of neglect or one bad relationship. A makeover will make it a 10/10.
Rachel Leigh Cook - She's All That
This has a few scratches, maybe the name is worn a bit on the top tube, but you still know it's a looker really. It's probably a 7/10 , but could go to a 9/10.
Sandra Bullock - Miss Congeniality
This has marks and scratches on all tubes, but even with a paint job it's maybe only gonna be an 8/10. Is it really worth it?
-
Oh, thought Vitus was just the tubing. Shoulda follwed more than one google link.
-
Anyone have an idea what make this frame could be
-
Ooh that twin tube is nice. Weird. But nice.
In the market for a frame, some good stuff here, almost too much choice!
-
Thanks for the offer, will keep that in mind.

Thanks - he's not actually a Beardie though. Don't worry, gets mistaken for Beardie and "a Dulux dog" a lot. And I have mistake Beardies for his breed plenty of times!
He's a Polish Lowland Sheepdog.
A bit smaller than English Sheepdogs, and probably a bit smaller than Beardies too I think. Maybe slightly shorter hair too. But still daft as a brush, they have that in common too.
