Aye, good stuff LH. Clean execution.

IMO, needs a drive side shot against a wall. But thats just me, the photog.

I am humbled by your kind remarks sir. No light by the time we got back. I will post a nice proper drive side shot asap.

Can't help thinking it needs some different ( white) forks though.

Yeah. I know.

But, I'm young in Retrobike years so I'm still learning.

Starting out I wanted to put a black Accutrax on it. ..still do, kinda. :?

Nah! Needs sus forks - what about colour coded Mag 21? (White or black)
Still, looks great all the same - now be honest - did you ride it up there with the Porcs on?

Gobsmacking buddy, really nicely done

Funnily enough I know what you mean about the Accutrax (simple clean lines) suiting it but I'm with CB a black or white 21 would be spot on.

I think it's a stunner. I have a real soft spot for Boulders and thats possibly the nicest I've seen.

Really, really, really nice

You have a special touch when you build, it looks like 'hairstream' bike from the first second. Personally I like the Manitous, they work well with the sharp angles of the Ringle headset and the blue adds a little colour.

I like the idea of the accutrax too.

That's gorgeous. I'd love to see a shoot of yours and Defiant's (now Dr S's) together.

One thing I've often wondered about is that long, unsupported seat mast. The post clearly can't pass through the top tube as the shock would get in the way. Was there ever a problem with broken seat tubes on these frames? Rider weight limit?

Thats so nice, well done.
