Here's a quick tidy up build I've put together for my brother. Bought it off here in Feb i think from Sam, not much to do, new saddle, grips, cables etc and i've messed about with the brakes - used the originals on another build - but maybe they will go back later.

anyway pics

now

I like it - you don't see enough of them on here.

Great bikes - quality frames.

Turned out real nice and clean looking. Love that colour with its metallic two tone effect, reminds me of a certain colour code 'Mauritius blau' :D
