Following on from my aborted Funk build (did not love it when I saw it, sold it on), I bought a 17" Ozone from the 'Bay (from a previous RB member). It may be too small, but needed a project to keep me sane. This was the frame that I remember hanging in the LBS in Manchester for £squillions and what I originally wanted. Turned up today and I love it already. Had purple drop outs and decals, which had to be changed as I couldn't live with purple. Frame was in OK condition for age, but needed coating.
