Title: Got bored, built another bike, here it is.
Post by: Dollarbill on August 23, 2005, 11:13 PM

OK, had a bit of time on my hands, fancied building a chrome machine and always loved the GT PFTs after seeing a sneeky preview of Craig Campbells one in M-Zone one Saturday afternoon many moons ago. Like most of the bikes I cobble together, many of the parts were just sat around waiting to be made into something, others were sourced from fellow Radders and evilbay etc. Already enjoying throwing this thing around without the worry of chipping any paintwork. The frame was quite a mess when I received it but I simply handed it to my 3 year old daughter with a tube of Peek and some steel wool and it came up a treat. Enthusiastic kids taking an interest in dad's hobby, priceless!!

Top build.

It just needs somebody doing a can-can on it about 8 foot out at Southsea.
