Stunning bike!

Don't suppose you accept ravaged, retro (probably vintage by now!) body parts with an interesting patina?

Lets hope somebody thinks so. I personally think (and I would say this but) its a steal The amount of time it took to source the parts and the parts themselves are probably over the price. Let alone the costs of getting the rims shipped from the states and getting them built. If I don't have any luck here it will go on eBay as I don't really want to split it, even though I could probably sell all the bits twice over :?[/quote]

I think you will regret selling it, Its a fantastic build, understated clean and solid bike that will keep going and going. I'd buy it in a second at that price but I really musn't spend anymore money I don't actually have

I think I will regret selling it, but I need to make room for future projects that ultimately will be keepers. It was great fun putting this one together but somebody else shod enjoy it.

But it, you know you want to

Thanks very much.

I've got enough of my own to be honest with you ask me in a few days time when it's still for sale and I might give you a different answer

I have a Grand National bet which, if it comes off, will net me just under £600.

If it happens, I'll hide my joy from the wife and buy this off you!

Watch this space!

Out of interest, where or who did the foil decals for you?

Lovely bike btw, paint is brilliant, who did that for you?

If it was a bit bigger, and I could shift some stuff, I'd be very keen.

Thanks.

Gil did the decals. We reworked the Kili Racer decals and then had them screen printed in silver. Was a little bit more expensive, but it was the only way to get the right finish.

The paint was done by a company in Berkhamsted in Hertfordshire. The company is called Kustom Koating. The guy running it is very nice to deal with and it was very quick. He also did some of the work on the Hydrostops.

I still need to measure the seat tube but it depends on your height. I'm 5' 10' and i'm sure it would easily fit somebody of 6' and over.
