Just built this up today:
"Budget" build based on s/h frame and mainly ebay/Merlin sourced parts - except the wheels, which I already had - it's actually the drop bar Bahookie frame so a bit shorter then the one I already have - so lends itself nicely to the monster-wide curly bars! Gearing needs a fettle yet (waiting on a bigger cog and more suitable chain) but rolls along lovely.....
And this one was "not so budget" - built for me 5 years ago when I majorly treated myself whilst recovering from a broken back -
I also own a carbon Shand Oykel - a limited run go at building carbon bikes based on open mould frames - lovely and light and super quick - currently in bits so no pics but I'll get one up once it's built up
