Ok folks!

Here's a a lite update on my first project , the paint looks amazing so here's a few pics . The bb and headset are fitted but slight issue with steerer being about 5mm short. Luckily I work in a machine shop so I ll make a sleeve up and I ll cut and extend the existing one and get it Tig fused so will be just as strong.

Next job is to get the wheels built when I find the right rear hub! Then it's just a case of putting it altogether then go get it dirty!

Cheers no a company called sprayrite in Wiltshire , a friend of my fathers so mates rates! Still a bit pricey but no half measures on my first build

Re: Re:

Good to meet you in slam69 today - I'd spied your wheels out the back a bit earlier - very nice!

you'll only regret compromising and then spend more money later on undoing your wrongs

Very true
