Hi guys

For some time i have been hoarding a few bits to go on the "right" frame , well i think i have found it .

It will be well known to most of you ,first belonging to Johnnyboy666 who takes full credit for the paint scheme , then moved on to my very good mate mister
Mike Muz who added the judys, and now finally to me :D ( thanks again bud i know is not easy to let go )

My Bonty privateer




And here is the direction i feel the build going , i know its not period correct and i know its odd putting earler parts on a later frame but i just think they look right




[/url

As you can see mainly XT 735 with X lite Ti bar , Bonty saddle , and specialized bx 23 rims with wheelsmith butted spokes on XT hubs .
The tyres have changed already as Panaracers are pretty big in the Judy brace so got IRC Mythos at the mo , I think im going to need a change of steerer firstly because my back wont cope with that Mr M riding postion :LOL: and because i cant see the lever whack the TT :facepalm:
but there it is at the moment , more to follow :D

Cheers Paul

Always loved the look of a bonty.

Re: Once ,twice ,three times a Bonty !

I very nearly bought one of these and on two occasions too, sad now i didnt :(

Proper bikes to my mind.

Anyone who rides a bonty must have good taste. :LOL:
