MID is a definite progression on the US BB that's what I'd use.
I'd also be thinking about disc brakes, not kidding either :LolLolLolLol:

I remember that Clint :daumenhoch:
I was chatting to one of the engineers at work today about welding etc etc and one thing led to another with hinself basically saying to me he knows a good few skilled guys in the trade and sure that I could get something knocked up :daumenhoch:
He is going to have a chat with a friend of his for me so we shall see Clinty baby :) As for geometry mate, I will just take a NS frame set and use that. It's just a matter of finding something that is suitable to my height. I would definately like twin top or bottom tubes and maybe something different with the rear setup.
I think I can get either braised or Tig, it's just a matter of what is stronger and better longevity.
Disc brakes are a no go bro unluss I can get them to run round the centre of the hubs ;D I just couldn't imagine trying an endo to peg foot plant and slicing my shin down the disc to be honest :D Besides, Kappy has already done that.
I will be going back to a good old fashioned 990 on the rear somewhere and have a think about something to put on the front.

You could do with having a few rides on other members new school stuff at a lock in or summat Terry and see what suits you :daumenhoch: I have ridden quite a few recently and the only one i clicked with straight away way our kids subrossa ddt.
I literally got on it rode up a ramp and dropped in like i had been riding it for years and trust me that aint like me, i like a good half hour or so getting the feel for something before i get the bottle to do owt :daumenhoch:
harris:
ask standard to make it ,they will do it.

That may be a good starting point to be honest mate. I want to put a few old school touches to it though like Hutch fork standers, Curtis rear frame standers, 990 rear mounts with cables running internally. Stuff like that mate so, I thought I would ask everyone to get some pics up of their favourite parts.
I really like the Curtis rear stands -
