I have been looking forward to this for ages and can't wait to finish the build.

Pictures to follow but I am currently sans camera.

09 April 2009 spec updated.

I have been riding this for a week now with a few parts like brakes still missing, then last night the last little bits came together and it's pretty much finished. Now, finally some pictures, sorry about the quality.









I keep getting donated touring bike frames for my commuter bikes, but am not a fan of the style so I tried to make this a bit more like an urban cyclocross bike. I am very happy with how it turned out.

I have updated the spec sheet too.

Cheers
