What's a gen 2 build likely to cost?

Thanks Dan. Don't want to be too critical/bitchy as we were all new to this game once. My T/A was first built up with old and a few mid school bits as I thought they looked good and looked like parts I remembered from bitd (I used Haro fusion dx's instead of Shimano/Victor ones, and my GT layback was a 90's logo one). At least they were new/good condition though to be inkeeping with the state of the frame/forks. if you're going to spend a lot of cash on a bike, at least put some nice looking parts on it, be it appropriate repops or originals. That seat post - what a state. All fur coat and no knickers. I've said it before Dan, but I love your builds. A good mix of original and repop parts where appropriate for each. Your Torker for example - A great idea to fit OG alloy hubbed skyways. They really make it pop and give that og feel, where as the seat/grips are basically the same as originals. You really wouldn't know unless you were scruitinising it for a show :4_17_5:

I know what you mean about bring bitchy, and everyone deserves a chance, but he's been collecting for at least 18 months, and recognises a pedigree frame set when he sees one. My biggest problem with it is, why not register on the forum and see how good bike builders build amazing bikes, regardless of budget or OG or repop parts. Instead, it's seems appropriate to chuck a bike together with whatever's lying about, make a video, and post it on a FB group with 4 and a half thousand members pointing out what a layback is. :wtf:

This thread is the epitome of why people don't post/join rad ffs
Most people I know who don't come on here ( good lads , nice bikes/collections ), say the same thing ' can't be arsed mate, too many people thinking their the bollocks, proper clicky'
I agree with the fact that the bikes look pony , but the lad actually seems ok ( I've dealt with him and spoken to him on the phone) . From what I can see , he's just a young lad that's new to the game and is getting excited , going at it full bore? He's seen all the facebook bollocks and thinks it's the done thing?
We all started somewhere and it takes time to find your feet, my first builds were shockers , some would say similar to my current ones😀. I may be proved wrong and he is a tool, but everyone needs a chance😉
Just be happy it's so fooking hard to post pictures on here😂
