I fell in love with these frames after seeing the swift and the hummingbird 69er on here. After doing some research I really fancied trying a 29er and what better than a British brand steel framed beastie in a gorgeous baby blue.
I wanted to try and recreate a bike that reminded me of the old racers fitted with wide cowhorn bars I used to ride in the early 80s and also to use as much British brand kit as possible(with the odd exception)
Anywho here it is, currently shod in 26" wheels whilst i decide between a set of Halo Freedom disks in white or Halo Aerowarriors in silver, either set to be built up on Hope Pro2 hubs in matching gunsmoke.
