Built a Clockwork at the start of the year but that got stripped and swapped for a really nice AMP frame but didn't really bond with it so that got sold
:roll:

Built an Orange E3 single speed (ran as a 1x8 initially) and a Sunn Xircuit both of which i have at the moment, also rebuilt my LTS.

Have a Clockwork and a Manitou FS to build in 09 and who knows what else
:)

My 2008 projects started late, May in fact, when I purchased this lovely frame only 1996 LTS model and built it up

I then threw together a rigid 1998 GT Tempest for the Peaks meet

The Tempest was shortly followed by landing my dream bike, a 1992 GT Zaskar LE

An itch I have been intending on scratching for a while was finally sorted when I acquired this tidy 1992 Pro-Flex 852

I also landed a very scruffy 1990 GT Zaskar, spruced it up and added some Indy SL’s to create this

Every retrobiker must own a Specialized Stumpjumper, and as such I purchased a 1989 frame/fork combo and built this one

Singlespeeding is something I have mulled over for a while, and have now decided to give it a go with my 1997 GT Tequesta

And my most recent acquisition is a 1991 Peugeot Magnum

I also have at the back of the shed, a 1998 GT Arrowhead frame and a 1998 Team Saracen Rufftrax Sports frame/fork.
