Just because I've not got enough projects at the moment!!

I picked the frame up a couple of months ago knowing it needed a new headtube, so it's off to Danson shortly for surgery. I've been collecting parts for a few weeks, mostly NOS (because I'm worth it) and non Shimano build, really enjoying this already...

I'll get pics up soon.

Look forward to seeing this come together including the repair

I had a red one with a crack to the webbing behind the BB.

Re:

Bits box is getting fuller.

I've realised this build will be almost a complete NOS one!

How dare you!

I'm building a bike I want with my favourite parts, rather than rescuing some oddment or other.
Although not a period correct build, it's exactly the thing I was riding back in the mid to late 90's.
I'm really enjoying this too, which is nice.

Cool as ^

On a slightly ghoulish note and as a fellow member of the Manitou cracked headtube club can we see yours
