Really nice, very well done, not sure the missus would like it in the lounge though :LolLolLolLol:
I built a 10 speed grifter back in the day, used to be about 5 a week turn up at the local tip, I used the twin down tubes to run the gear cables with braised on lugs, it was a fast grifter with a 52 chainring, had to dish the Araya 7x rim right over to get the cog set on though, it had a pro neck stem, gt pro bars and a viscount seat., can't remember where i got the seat post from but i think under the standard big foam seat was a standard 22mm tube.
The frame on it's own wasn't that heavy once I removed all the standard parts including the built in side stand.
The weak part of a grifter were the forks, finding a set that weren't bent backwards was a challenge
A racer square taper crank fitted straight into the bb with no modifications, I remember breaking up a complete falcon racer to make it.
