Lovely frame but have to agree with Pete, needs more pictures of the actual frame and ideally with some parts fitted, keep seeing the same pictures as you posted in mid Nov :shock: also easier to decide on final spec then

Fair, the longer it takes, the harder the paint finish, and as mentioned i keep changing my mind.. :facepalm: And ive been finishing others along the way too, so not been idle as such.

Re: Re:
Hows it going with the one you were helping with, any progress....?
Mines on a slow burn at the moment, I'm struggling with time and wheels, I've managed to get the original ones, but they need fair work to be honest..

Re: Re:
Ive got Dakar hubs and Bullseye in Black, both with the wrong axle length, a pair of lovely MA40 MB rims, both with the wrong amount of holes for the hubs, not having much luck with this build.
The original wheels can be rescued, the rims are fine but filthy, bent and loose spokes can be replaced and trued, Axles and bearings need removing and replacing, the previous owner at some point, replaced the freehub body with a 7 rather than 6, and then jammed a 7spd cassette onto it, leaving the last sprocket off altogether, i think the only way it stayed in place with no lockring for so long was brute force to jam it in place and then dirt, debris muck and rust stopping it from moving for years. Just to save these wheels as a temporary set until i can find what i want, will need a new freehub, axle bearings, spokes, sprockets.
