Picked up this little pup during the week. Having been for a spin round the woods, , I'm very glad I did!
It has a lot of rust veins, but they seem superficial.
Off to get powdercoated next week...

All the red componentry is not intentional; it's what I had lying around, honest.

That was fast....I like it a lot

What are your plans for colors and build?

Nice bike :!:

Looks ace. What colour will it be?

suburbanreuben · Feb 12, 2011

I have a pretty good idea on colour, but I'm liable to change my mind before it's done.
I'm always open to suggestions...

Build wise, it'll be 1x8, rigid, and quite light. As pictured it weighs in at just under 10 kg (The wheels are quite heavy) from a frame weight of 1.75kg.

Awesome

sweet collection of bikes you've got!

I quite like the look of it as it is. I know it has to get new paint, maybe something similar...The fade is so nice

Would look stunning with matching forks.

Thanks for the right noises , fellas!

I am kinda lucky to have found these bikes, and I now feel content with the frames I have. Componentry can be sorted as and when.
I think I've found a good powdercoater, so I'll be on the phone to find out if they can do the sort of finish I'm after.
Fingers crossed!
