Thanks for the replies guys, I know it'll all go belly up pretty soon!

I've just been offered a nice Specialized frame in the wanted section. It'll be a nice start...

I'll carry on looking!

This site has AGED me ten years, always skint, loosing sleep over builds, can't concentrate at work due to thinking about building/riding, depressed over bikes that were dream bikes BITD as i could'nt afford them and are still dream bikes as i still cant afford them.

Run while you can

Welcome, as Lewis said hook up with some Retro riders in your area

I'm from Hampshire, I would meet up for a ride out... Make myself look like a dick

I think I've just bought a nice looking Specialized frame... Never had one of them before so that'll be a nice change.

Just got to decide on a spec (I'm hoping some of you guys can help me with that!) and get cracking.

I've got a Trek donor bike for some bits, then I'll just have to Retro it up!

Just the illusive DX brakes and Wildgripper tyres to find.... :shock:
