My 92ish Cyclecraft XLX build (Pic Heavy)

(1/6) > >>

midschooljon:
As some of you know I have been chipping away at this build for some time. I had a build thread on here but between moving house and starting a new job I did a terrible job of keeping it updated. The bike is a bit of a strange one as it is an XLX without the wishbone. There are 2 more like it on the museum, however unlike those two, this one has a machined BB, and a strait brake bridge (all other Cyclecraft's I have seen have a curved one). Because of this its pretty hard to put a date on the bike, but it seems to be an early 90's model.

All the paint is original and Ive kept all the decals that were on the frame. The missing ones were replaced with colour correct items from Frog. As with all my builds the idea was to build it up with era correct parts, and I was lucky enough to come across some really nice ones during the build. The 1st generation Kovachi wheels, half wrap flights and sprocket, square edge XXL DK stem, DC Big Dog, and Pro sized Fredz Bars are some of the highlights of the build for me.

Anyway, here it is in all its rough and ready state (Yes Im aware my lawn could do with a spot of mowing  :LolLolLolLol: )
