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

If I could trust myself to collect frames I could have 200 and it wouldn't matter :LolLolLolLol:
My problem is wanting to make them all into full bikes. Which wouldn't be a problem if I had my own storage, but a bit risky when they're somewhere else. That said I do have three frames now that are not full bikes. Still got the Mongoose Villain I will never build and the T1 Ruben. So maybe I could trust myself just to buy frames? IDK.
Yeah the STA looked far better with a black fork on. Plus I have plenty of black paint and clear coats left over, so won't have to spend any more than the ?30 I am in. Will sort the top bolt out. Bit of filing and some paint. I was thinking about using the Huffy fork, but it's 10mm and has no 990 lugs which I kinda wanted to stick with now. That said ?30 is pittance really. I can't even eat out for that now.
I think the Kink would look amazing on my kitchen wall. My kitchen is all red/black/grey so yeah I reckon it would look killer. Might look into that.
One day I may, just may, get some brake lugs welded on the Villain and do a DMC rep. I doubt it though, the wheels would cost me more than it would be worth.
I've been sorting out my electronics and stuff recently. Got a new TV. 70" Ambilight, so have been hitting movies hard.
Did a custom water cooled PC build (with paint) just after Christmas.
Upgraded my home PC (that was a grand FFS) and am currently adding another amp/speakers to my cinema array so I reckon I should be about done doing that before the weather gets better. Deffo shifting at least three of the bikes though. I really don't like that hanging around my neck like an anchor. I know for sure I could strip down the four I really want to keep and put them in my eaves, so that is at least some relief. But yeah, will wait for the weather to turn better and sell off some.

Just bought tonight but not by me. My sister wanted a cheap 80's bike for the summer, so here it is. I'll tidy it up for her and get it riding nice. I like it, cool gusset and great colour. I think it has potential fistblump

The wedgie picker seat post :LolLolLolLol:
Looks cool man I like that. Should clean up lovely !
I'm quite pumped about getting my STA finished now. I think I can finally say it will actually be finished. Wow.

:LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: wedgie picker, loving that. It certainly catches the eye as well as other body parts if left as is.
Yeah, hopefully it'll clean up nicely and have decent paint under those stickers. I spotted it and shared the listing with my sister, then a sellers offer came in and bingo, she bought it. I'll donate some cleaner parts where needed and I'm sure it'll be a cool little bike. Another one located in France, let's hope it arrives in one piece. I messaged the seller as usual, asking him to protect the frame and forks well for shipping. Got an odd reply saying yeah sure, no problem, be quiet.

I think the forks will definitely look the biz and give that full stop to the build for sure. You've been busy by the sounds of it so you can have your clear out, then if you're not building like a crazy man, enjoy your keepers.

Just bought this 1987 Selle Italia Turbo saddle in a lovely dark blue leather. There's a few bikes this could end up on.
