1991 Chas Roberts D.O.G.S. B.O.L.X

Thought I would start the build thread on my newly purchased D.O.G.S B.O.L.X off of eBay. Its currently staying with Nevadamith (cheers mate!), but the plan is to do a full respray and rebuild it as close to the Justin Loretz bike as possible.

Still trying to determine the actual year of the frame as the serial number I have didn't match anything on Chas's records but I think there is a digit missing. I am going to get Chas to build a stem that was an option with the frame in the 90's and then get Colourtech to do the respray and stencil the graphics as per the original bikes

I have sourced some of the parts which I will add the to thread when they are delivered, but for starters here are some of the pictures as it arrived at Nevadasmith's...

If anybody spots anything they want, as I don't really want any of it, let me know and I'm sure we can sort something out.

Hopefully it will look something like this when its finished

Good luck with this one mate, i have pulled up a chair, and am looking forward to seeing your progress.

Proper cool.

Thanks mate, make yourself comfortable as it might take a while

Carl, how many numerals does your serial number have? The one Nevada gave me was 5 figures long...

Mmmm comfy looking saddle

If your frame is anything like mine, the first digit of the number is missing.

I did a bit of scraping, and soon revealed the missing digit, a 9. I could then tell mine was made in 92.

Looking forward to getting my own build underway, but I'll be watching this one closely, so that I can nick any good ideas and claim them as my own :twisted:

Am I the only one that loves the red/yellow paintwork?

Ps if the chains not too stretched I'll have it!

May be that's the missing digit, it would make sense. I don't think the frame could be a 2001 as the seller said he bought it second hand in 98!

I don't mind the red/yellow paintwork, its just I've always loved the look of the white/black race bikes. It just oozes class to me but then who am I to say...

P.S. If its not you can have it

nice.

you just know it's gonna be a cracker
