Looks stunning. Cat doesn’t look impressed by it though 😻

They are brilliant! I wouldn’t be parted from my set. Sorry

Thanks. It won’t be very fast with me on it but looking forward to riding this for fun instead of my gravel bike.

I never did get the BB out. I will take it to a workshop when it does finally go but the chainline works and it rides okay. The canti brakes were fiddly to set up but I fitted the headset myself with no problems (never done one before). Been for a quick test ride and it fits me well and handles...

It ended up being a bit of a British build where possible to compliment the Dawes frame/Pace forks. A few Hope parts, x-lite bars and a Brooks Cambium saddle which I know isn’t made in Britain but I like the look anyway.

There were a few changes of plans along the way. Plus life got in the way and I lost inspiration for a bit. I definitely spent a bit too much money on purple anodised bit but I do like the purple accents and it’s my favourite colour.

Finally finished this just in time for the end of summer

I bought a 16” one recently and only paid £50 plus £25 to ship. Yours is probably a more useful size for more people and the sun is starting to shine so maybe you will get more. These are awesome frames but lack retro cool factor GLWS

Very nice. Loving the purple

Beautiful bike. I read your build thread a while back. Helmut was a good guy and very accommodating to us cycle couriers. Remember his shop on Robert street in Camden. He repaired a ribble frame for my partner and it was better than new. GLWS. Very tempting

Interested in purple bits particularly if not purchased by Antwack and can post 😀

Needs better photos too.

Fitted an IRD to a Roberts white spider recently. Seemed like a good option based on my research but can’t comment on the durability yet

Good information @bikeworkshop . Shame it doesn’t go over the axle though

I’m north east London so condor is definitely in range and and Brixton, BLB, plus there are a couple around Dalston that would be worth talking too as well. I’ll track one down one way or another. Well that’s nice that the owner turned up here at one point. Shame he didn’t have a stash of Bb...
