More details to follow but this is my current project in a thrown together build..
Old Build:
July 2011 Build:
So as some of you probably know I'm a but if a sucker for Fats. Currently there's a Yo and 2 Bucks in the hoard. I decided earlier this year to basically find another Fat build. I sold up a heap of stuff I'd been saving for a rainy day including my lovely Orange Prestige and a few modern bits. Money in the PP I put out the wanted ad. Not much movement until I got a nudge from DrS that Kaiser was selling his SAB. A few phone calls and PM’s to a very nice Kaiser (thoroughly good chap BTW) later we got a deal worked out and the frame was making its way southwards from sunny Scotland to grey London.
I wasn’t 100% sure what the build was going to be really but I figured it was going to have to be pretty top notch. Planned mostly M900 and I figured I’d probably go blue/green ano.
As a bit of inspiration I remembered from back in the day a review of Clive Goslings SAB, one of the first SAB’s to land in the UK, so I tried to dig this out. Et Voila...
This was my starting point, more to come later, too sunny to be sitting infornt of my Mac.
