The things you can do with scrap...

After building and selling a BSA tour de France from some parts from a 99p job lot, I decided to build a single speed bike with what was left. £18 for the wheels, about £40 for some Ali express and ebay parts, and a bit of 2k paint.... Presenting the product of fictitious boutique manufacturer, Gaspipe Cycles..

It's very 'brick lane', isn't it! Oddly enough, it's going to see plenty of use in London

Lovely!

Thank you.

To be honest it is rather nice looking and you've done a bang up job of it. Very tasteful.

Thank you, appreciate your kind words. Everything fell into place nicely. The one takeaway I have is how quiet it is to ride.

Looks good, better than you could buy from various boutique outlets.

The irony is that it probably feels great to ride.

However an Italian name Tubo del Gas would ice the cake.
