Are you going to try and build in a Cav Strutt stylee (like the one in the advert) or are you going with a different build?

not quite sure what the final spec will be but it will deffo be period correct, araya 7Cs, red line brute stem etc etc
the cook bros bars on the one Cav is riding are proving a bit elusive to say the least, so maybe GT santa ana bars and i'm gonna want some comp 2s if any one has some going spare ::)

Good stuff, 7c's are deffo the right choice although maybe a Suntour stem rather than a Redline Brute (I only saw a couple of those bitd, seen many more nowadays though!). There's a pair of Cook's bar on US ebay at the moment but I say build it as you like, just hurry up with it :LolLolLolLol:

Very cool Andy - with that gusset and the loopy end it looks a bit like a Jag - interesting frame mate ;)

They were originally designed around the Cook Bros frame IIRC ;)

if you look closely at the Cav Strutt picture you can see he had a Redline brute stem on his although as you say suntours were more common, in fact i had a Suntour on mine :daumenhoch:
you are totaly correct when you say they were designed around the Cook bros frame :daumenhoch:

Eagle eyed :LolLolLolLol:
I remember talking to Cav about the frames before they went on sale and managed to get Richard Barrington to let me have one at a discount before they were officially released! I also got a jersey and race pants too but only have the race pants still, no idea what happened to the jersey!
