(1/6) > >>

bobafett:
Just put this together today........
Bought this 1984 Cali (frame only) a while back for around 45 quid on ebay with the intentions of throwing some cheap bits on it to make another rider (used the "I'll build a bike for the missus" excuse for buying yet another frame  ;D ) but you know what it's like - a few late night bids on ebay and you spend more than you originally wanted to on your "bargain" frame  :D

....ahh well here she is - I'm well happy how it's turned out considering it's a 100% rider  :daumenhoch:
