been on a lads holiday to blackpool the last few days and was wondering if the frame would ever turn up.........turns out the courier dropped it off at a neighbours house but never carded me to say they had!

was sat in there hallway for a few days while i worried it could of been lost!

anyway, drama over, and i made the most of the weather today to get a build together.

i noticed the BB would have to be changed as the single speed crank wouldnt enjoy a 125mm spindle, a spare 110mm was on hand though......and i had to pop into the LBS to get them to have a go at removing it, it was stuck fast and i couldnt find a long bar to shift it.

anyway, heres whats been done so far, just needs cables and a few set up adjustments. size is fine thankfully. cant wait to ride it outside of the garden!
