You don't know how many times I've read that thread and drooled over the images.
I can't wait to get it going but I need to save up a bit more cash to get it all sorted. Hopefully won't be long
Do you know how longs its taken you to put the White Spider together? And how on earth did you manage to find that frame in that condition? Its just lovely.
Bring on Part 2

Bring on Part 2
All i can say is that i was chasing this for a long time, eventually and quite surprisingly i got an email from the seller asking if i still wanted it.
of course i jumped at the chance, and with some help, it was returned to its original spec.
I would like to thank a couple of people now we are on the subject, big thanks to Dave.H and Chas R., also would like to thank Bill for being such a gent.
And i would like to thank Gil_M too, for the replacement Ritchey Logic Crank decals, the originals were tatty and although i had to polish the duraluminium cranks, which were worn and lacquer fading and rubbed, i wouldnt have polished them, and made them good again if i didnt couldnt get replacement decals. Cheers mate.
As for the Part two, all i am waiting for is a hubset, a brakeset, and ideally a seatpost, all im waiting for is the post man to arrive, then i can build the wheels, and finish the build.... :roll:
