Hi all,
I've just finished (well nearly anyway) my first retro build.
It hasn't touched any dirt (yet) just a quick check to make sure everything works. Woohoo it does! My god I forgot how short flat bars felt.
A little bit of History of this bike.
Frame bought in 98 from Recycle 'Bromley' - Fell in love with it!
Tried to sell the frame and wheels on here a few years ago. Eventually decided to build it back to its former glory. 3 years later and finally there, bar some pedals and maybe replacing some of the newer kit (not sure - will have to see how she rides first)
The inspriration was to build it back to the catalogue model, but half way through decided to add a little bling (may have gone too far tho?)
Spec to follow....
