This is a fairy tail come true, I never believed I could of owned such a steed but laying a few things on the line some frantic selling of everything that I didnt need and leaving my tax disc at the petrol station the evening before payday when my card bounced i got there in the end
The frame and fork has been around with previous owner jez-4-bikes-max and Saltyman who I have purchased it from, I have taken a gamble with the frame size even though its a 17" it has good length top tube that I normally ride.
There is still lots that I will change over time such as Stem, seat post and that damn m900 chainset that has been such a pain in the arse , But here she is all ready for the Peaks next week !! . Also will have some better wheels sorted for it in time.
Ideally I would like some nice black /amber walls but again will have to wait so the choice is the slippers that are on there now , so green amber walled slippers (I have a fetish ) or modern black 1.95
Apologies for pants photo its with phone as camera battery needs charging
Let me know what you think
Big thanks to
The mrs for driving 420 miles to collect the frame
Saltman for selling to me
ratcapa for sending me the front mech before receiving payment
Fluffychicken for help with BB issues
