Fantastic job ZZ, especially for a first atempt :), looking forward to seeing it in the metal :wink:

I'd have been worried if i'd have walked into that man cave looking like that right enough, would have been waiting for Dexter to jump out of the shaddows :lol:

Cheers for the comments gents... Now ready to ride:

Running a modern crankset until I can get my hands on something decent, black and reasonably period. Blue ano BMX Odyssey U-brake at the rear (pretty close match to the paint), and pink frogleggs up front.

And the pink chain? Well that's just how I trundle :P

looks great well done ZZ. I love the job you have done esp the yellow cables and the colour coded ubrake but you must get rid of the pink chain or I'll be forced to hunt you down and kill you.
