Retro Newbie
New account but not new to the forum, Returning after a little break from cycling after i broke my leg
Made a new account because i forgot all of the details to my old one :roll:
I've had this frame for quite a while and keep saying ill build it up etc etc but never actually do. Now i have the time and the GF has ordered me to either build it up or get rid of it, i have no excuse not to.
Have a donor bike which will be my main source of parts, any other parts will be out of the parts bin or Bought very cheap. Ive also been given a very strict budget so this will be interesting.
Not going for period correct or any of that. Just built up out of whatever i can get my hands on. Before anyone says anything, no the rear wheel with the disc isn't staying on, ill hopefully be swapping it for a rim brake wheel in the next few days. Headset should be going in tomorrow too.
Everything on the frame was loosely fitted so i could get a idea of size etc.
