Title: work in progress
Post by: pickle on August 15, 2010, 06:23 PM

picked this frame up at the start of the year and been putting bits and bobs on it for a rider.....it was supposed to be ridden at MK but i fooked the chain up and got fed up with it  >:(  anyways i've had to ditch the lovely polished profile whippet and stuck on an old 44t chainwheel i had given to me by the one and only poolysherrif  :daumenhoch:  not sure it'll stay but it proved i needed a 44t to alloy the chain to fit without the tyre fouling the frame.  it has a set of the illusive MK10 £40 LG's but they're unstamped ones so as soon as my era correct stamped ones come back from the chromers they will be getting put on with the fresh LG decals that match the frame ones.
i even built the wheels!!  huge thanks to JT71 who sent me the hubs for nowt!  LEGEND!!  i've had a swifty roll around and she feels spot on!  :daumenhoch:
