So today I had some time on my hands, for the first time in ages, and I set about making a start on this build... Oh and it's my first modern build, with discs and everything, so go easy on me.. :LOL: :LOL:

Someone's gonna have to let me in on what year it is, but I'm guessing around 2002??

Full spec to follow, so for the time being, a teaser pic.

:cool:

**UPDATE** - After email conversations with SevenCycles it is a September 2001 frame manufacture, for 2002MY :cool:

Very nice Steve.
Will you be going for flat or riser bars?
Oh, and i know it goes against the grain :D but maybe treat her too some blackwall tyres :LOL: :LOL:
 
Cheers fella,

I generally detest risers, so Flats will be the order of the day...

Thought I had some oversized ones, but alas, they're all 25.4 :oops: :oops: otherwise I'd have finished it off today... :(

Nah, not gonna change these tyres, I spent a forune on them a year ago, for a modern build and this is it..

I might 'ride' it on blackwalls, but we'll have to see.. :LOL: :LOL:
 
Oh, and I have a set of black Tune cranks and BB that'll be going on shortly, but I just wanted to see how these looked.. :cool:
 
Finished today (22nd Jan)

And I've managed to break 2 of my big no-no rules....

Disc brakes
Risers

Anywhoo, a few pics and I love it. Carbon everywhere.. :cool:
