Today I bought, or it got delivered, or I fitted...

Yeah that's it. Someone on BMXM had one NOS a couple of years back. Torker did some beautiful alu frames during that time too.
I've been doing DIY and building work. First job was create another place for a bike so the Morales will fit eventually.
That was why I bought a double stand for the Morales. Knew I was only going to use one loop. It's not sketch, not at all :LolLolLolLol:
That leaves me space to sort this thing out. Removing the red rims makes it look a shit load better already. I reckon new post and sprocket and it will be much better.
I may have an idea to save those KHE cranks *if* I can get the Profile axle out. We will see......

The Cannondale has landed explosion
One tiny ding on the top tube, and a very slightly tweaked dropout. I was expecting a few nasties but on the whole I'm a happy bunny. The paint isn't too good but I don't know if I can bring myself to strip it. It has a charm and the decals are pretty good.
The headset is a very nice Stronglight with needle bearings. I'm not so sure on the brake though. Please check out my new post in the chat section, I'm after an ID on it.
Cheers

Awesome :)
I bought another frame. Late night Ebay purchase, but I am very happy with it. I was out of my nut on benzos, but at 49 quid I couldn't pass.
It looks rather unremarkable. In fact it is, until you see this.
It's nothing to get excited about. Just an entry level complete FBM frame from 2010. However, it's an FBM. They are very rare and the company went tits up recently so I just wanted one in the collection. Strongly doubt I will ever build it, even more doubtful I will ever ride it, just wanted an FBM in the collection. Added bonus though is that it comes with the after market head tube badge.
I'll probably paint it some time next year. Make some decals etc.

Etc, etc...! It's a slippery slope from there, my friend, but you don't need me to tell you that! :daumenhoch:

No more room for completes, and tbh? with this being such an entry level frame (only the head tube is cro mo) I really wouldn't bother dude. I do want to collect frames, mind. I guess this is kinda like the Root Down. Not a full fat 2hip, but still cool to have. I don't like gentlemans relishing big money into bikes I will never ride. There are a couple I have, but IMO it was worth it. I've never lost the "This will all end up in a skip one day" philosophy. Never spend what I cannot afford, and never see any of it as an investment. Just a way to keep me busy and thus sane.
I can do a cheap paint job on it that's pretty exotic and stick some decals on. In fact I just started work on decals today. So that's another day will little anxiety or depression so hey, that's a win.
