I think this one needs no introduction... :D

Let's see what everybody has been lashing together! It's pretty obvious that there's plenty of builds bubbling away at the moment. I know there may be a few build threads already but thought it might be nice to have them all in one hit.

I'll start the ball rolling with my '89 Saracen Kili.

It's destined to wear mostly 1993 Deore DX as this is what I had at hand, with some Mavic goodies thrown in for good measure. The 315 headset was just fitted recently to take the headset spacers out of the equation. Just waiting for a couple more smallest bits and it will finally be done...

Got 3 on the go.

This one’s got a thread on here... 1993 British Eagle Summit
... drivetrain now functional, waiting on some canti hangers to get it finished... bike was a fiver from the tip, thought I’d have a go at an apocalypto ss build.


This one is a slow burner...1998 Clockwork... started it ages ago, but have made a bit of progress recently thanks to finally getting some half decent suitable wheels for it. I should have all the bits to finish it now - only needs cables and a chain, I think. Although it’s destined to be a non-precious “rider” I have been a bit fussy with it, I already have a 98 clocky which I love and ride regularly, this one is about trying a few tweaks I wanted to make to the original one, without taking it off the road, if that makes sense...


Last but certainly not least is another 1993, also British made, this time in Nottingham. I would never have sought out a Raleigh Peak, but again, it was a fiver from the tip... it’s an absolute cracker. Rides lush. More or a rolling resto than a build, it came almost complete and was surprisingly straight forward to put back on the road. I just took it for a ride and I think it might just have become my all round favourite bike.

Re:

This Ultimate CST has been up in the loft as frame, forks and wheels only for a few years. Brought it dow a couple of weeks ago, stripped the forks and put it together out of the parts bin.
Fun little runaround (when we can run around again!)
