Hi ding haw you doing, those look sweet looking forward to the pic with all the brum wheels on. The decals on the candy red look real nice are they silver on clear! Great builds you knock out. It s all in the detail. :4_17_5:

Yes mate, I had a chrome on clear set made up as I pictured them looking good on candy red  :coolsmiley:

All looks good Ding. All those parts eventually find their way onto the mini or candy?

Most of these parts will be going on to the Scott Beaumont Mini, although there are a few spare bits such as the duplicate TA cranks which can go on to the red Mini build. It was a pretty good haul! I've got pretty much everything I need for both builds now.... Just got to sort the rims/lacing now. I'm kind of split between these and my NP build at the minute.... (As well as decorating the nursery!)

So my Birmingham WHEELS obsession continues...

I found another Mini last week, and collected it yesterday. It's not in the best of shape, but is another special Team WHEELS frame, having been raced by Rebecca Maiden. It has the same features as the Scott Beaumont frame, with the extra washers brazed to the brake bridge. Same Reynolds Butted stampings too.

It came with a lovely headset, , Tange forks, Campy cranks (score!), but best of all it has a set of genuine brazed WHEELS Mini bars. I spoke to the Lawthers about them and they confirmed they did make a few sets of Mini bars upon request for the team riders.

Well chuffed! Needs a good clean up but that's what I enjoy!

One final feature is the serial number, which appears to be 60, with the letter 'T' below it. This was used to identify the team frames early on, but they dropped this feature when the riders started swapping frames more frequently
