Fookin ace that :daumenhoch:

I know of 6 Mini's (3 prototypes for Alan's and Tim March), 8 Experts, 5 Pro's and just 3 Cruisers now.
There was also 1 WHEELS sidehack, 1 prototype freestyle frame(!) which was thrown out by Trev Robinson's mom, and 1prototype titanium Mini also.
I guess they are all rare frames now, but the Pro and Cruiser versions are the most sought after due to rideability. I love the Expert geometry though I must admit, and an 18.5tt length is fine for me :daumenhoch:
Never built a Cruiser before so I'm looking forward to this.

Yeah, super rare indeed. I only know of two others - the Sawzall bike and one that was purchased from an Ex-team WHEELS rider, Pat Robinson. Mine was also sourced from an ex-WHEELS rider and was raced all over the world by him, even as far afield as Japan. I'd been negotiating the sale for around 6months but finally got hold of it on Friday. Chuffed!! I know of 22 WHEELS frames now, but the Cruiser is the rarest.
I have a picture in my head of how this will look when finished... Just got to source all of the parts now!!

Yep, i've only seen Phils but then he does live 5 mins from me. I vaguely remember the other, i think it was on ebay but got ended early, i'm not 100% sure though. :-\
I built a Jag Cruiser last year but wheels and tyres were a right pain to get. Got the tyres from the US in the end :(

Got any pics of the Jag Cruiser??

I'm looking forward to this build if it's like your others it will be a cracker :daumenhoch:
