Principia MacB

[JRGSXR]

Following my inability to sell stuff, and not being allowed to buy/start another build till it’s gone . Coupled with my increasing boredom for the need to build something, I decided to rebuild my Principia MacB. After a dig around in the shed I’ve come up with this. Will need to sort the boxes but the main parts are kinda picked. Not looking forward to cutting the steerer on the Amps though .

Wheels ready, some parts selected. Slim pickings in the right size/colour but I’ll make it work. Please ignore the cat, he’s not part of the build .

Progress so far, I can already see I’m missing some very important parts . Also, after standing in the shed (for a good 20 mins),hacksaw in one hand tape measure in the other and Amps in the vice. I bottled it big time . The Amps remain uncut, change of plan.

Parts in transit, updates soon. Cheap and functional is the way forward on this one.

Well why on earth not, kitty power is way more cool than a battery assist.

He’s 22yrs old, not much power left in him. He’s deaf and doesn’t leave the house anymore.

Aww poor old lad, still gorgeous though. Also could be a reasonable description of myself!

Parts arrived, build finished, bike for sale in the relevant section in here. Big purge of stuff this year.
