Title: my Cali rebuild
Post by: pickle on January 30, 2010, 06:40 PM
i picked up my mates old Goose Cali frame a year ago which was in a right sorry state as it had been hanging up in his workshop for years.

this was how i picked it up

it got cleaned up as much as i could

it was built back up with all the parts he gave me....but i just wasn't feeling it and it got stripped and left......but after it calling from the back of the garage i sent it off to SBD to break my SBD cherry.  still looking for the right bits i want for it but it's coming together

cheers fella.....yeah well pleased with how the frames come out.....the pictures don't do it justice to be honest.

Looking good Rob  :4_17_5:
The parts will come together and when its done will look fantastic, Cali's always do  :smitten:
I've had 3 Cali's and loved them all, i really regret getting rid of the 2 i had left about 2 yrs ago though  :'(

Looking good so far  :daumenhoch:
Another great job by SBD. Once the rims and other bits are in place it will look sweeeet  :smitten:
Picked up a Cali myself last week and am just in the process of bringing her up to scratch.

Can't wait to see it finished   :coolsmiley:

Is that the same old school candy red SBD used to great effect on bobbysam's Hoffman Resistance?
Whatever it is it's very nice 8)

thanks guys  :daumenhoch:  i've got Stidds building me a cracking set of wheels but still got a fair few things i need to get fer her.

Monkian, no it's slightly diferent to the one used on the Hoffman.....i think Dan said mine's a bit more cherry than that one, they both look great though  :daumenhoch:
