Re:
Yeah, son grew faster than the bikes I could build him, I have a small Kona he out grew before it was finished too. So never bothered to finish them, they're too small for me to ride for any length of time.
So it takes another route ...
Waiting on a few boxes of V brake noodles, sets of 110, 90 and bendy types.
I always reshape and cut them to fit the bikes
Also these wheels can't* be used in this, need to find or build another set. But that means going in the loft.
As for speed, this one is my longest project
viewtopic.php?t=192423
The pace isn't tidy either, needs the frame stripping and powder coating.
pretty sure I have three other project I've not started either.
No rush.
*the rear is dished for for my pace.

Dammit, the M736 front mech isn't really liking the 50mm chainline and compact chainrings so much, couple wit the short cage M735 rear mech not quite coping well with the amount of chain it all needs, I'm going to have to dump them and use some 737/8 era stuff :-( if i have any. Time to go rummaging in the boxes again.
I could live with it, but it's not for me and it needs to always work.

Re:
This is built by the way, current forks at 100mm (Bomber of some sort) are way to long for the frame, they're not the SIDs or the Superfly, really need to get them SIDs working.
Bumping so i can find the thread again.
