Hopefully something will be winging it's way to me to build up, oooh I can't wait.

No clues I'm afraid but I am excited and I hope it all comes off. You are entitled to guess I suppose but I won't say if you are right....

Make sure you include a photo of the bike with wheels but no tires.

I think he means every build thread contains at least one photo of a bike in an early build state with no tyres. Or cranks.

Gonna be a slow burner this one, but hopefully special in the end...

Once I've paid for the frame I need some NOS or very near Gripshift SRT600R's, pretty please!

And some Middleburn cranks, 110bcd.

Can't afford just yet though... :-(

What middleburns are you after as I'll have a surplus set soon once I decide to keep either the rs3 or rs7s

I'm not sure it suits those tassels on the handlebars, or the pink basket and bell combination for that matter.

(purely speculative comment, may or may not be edited once bike is posted)

This is funnier than I expected....

It's probably going to be better than you expect, but maybe not as good as you might hope.

This could drag on a while.... :-D

The vertical arrow thing was a mick take really - why do people do the "reserved for updates" thing anyway?
