If you ever happened to be around west London you can try both of mine!

No, can't find it. The number 1790 grams springs to mind. Could it be possible?

I did and I thought I posted it but I didn't. Can't find the post.

Update: I fitted my favourite panaracer tyres and went for a proper ride today. This bike is absolutely amazing. The frame flexes on rough terrain and bends and it feels like I have rear suspensions. Also, this fork is great, same level as my bomber on my other scapin but somehow it cancels the...

Funds are limited and the boss is about to kick me out if I get any more bike related parcels 😂😂😂

Gone for a test ride this morning and the riding position makes you want to go fast! Got to change those tyres as they're too slippery off road. Now, for the only problem I found: Shifting is extremely precise, all gears change quickly and securely, however, when on middle cog and putting...

Ok guys, I finished building this Scapin and here are some pictures. I really like the look of this bike! Please forgive the hazy pictures, I should've cleaned the lens before shooting 🙄

I thought so. I was wondering if there was an easy way out. 🙄

I tried, the bloody thing still goes down
