Then after a bit of a warm up in the hallway i banged on the decals. So pleased with how it's turned out so far, huge thanks to John bobaffet for all the help along the way with helping me choose decals and so on :daumenhoch:

Due to the way the headtube is curved i had to cut the headtube decal down a bit so it wouldn't crease up, think it's worked ok :smitten:

Bobby Belter :4_17_5:
Where can I get one of they stems Bert ???
-
Knight bike sell them on US ebay matey, work out about £40 with postage :daumenhoch:
They're not the lightest in the world though but they sure are nice! :)
-
That looks ace and the forks look so right with that frame... :4_17_5:
-
thats the spirit! :daumenhoch:
that looks fab!
enjoying watching this build tbh,
what bars are you using? those FLY v-bars would suit it,
-
made of pure win. You need to tell me how it rides once its finished, I'm so intriuged
-
now thats very nice :smitten:
-
That's gonna look mint finished . :daumenhoch:
-
Cheers guys, Joe i'm going to use some chrome slams to start with. to be honest those fly V bars are very narrow and don't come in chrome. Standard make some (or they did) but the slams should work fine :daumenhoch:
-
that looks a beaut :daumenhoch:
look forward to it finished
-
That looks nice, I like the mix of new and old look. :daumenhoch:
-
WOW, I'm smitten!!! :smitten:
Best bike you've ever built Mr Pickle and its not even finished! :4_17_5:
-

-
Thanks for all the great comments guys :daumenhoch:
I was so excited about getting this back today I could hardly sleep! ;D :D
-
Nice that is Rob, looking forward to seeing the test of the build, keep the thread going dude!
-

-
Cheers.......gunna save up for some nice gold proper wheels now :daumenhoch:
-
:) Looks great and the SBD finish is awesome.What parts are you planning for it? If you say new Skyways and Oddy Barefeet I`ll come down and saw it in half :daumenhoch:
-
Beaut!
Like Mr. Delray sez: Al's rapid cook bars
and get them candy powderd in gold then :)
Awesome

just what i was thinking yannick :daumenhoch:
seriously jealous of this build Rob
-

motomags spray-painted gold ;D
-
looking good so far Rob :daumenhoch:
-
that is one sexy bike build there mate :shocked: :smitten:
i also think the bars would be cool >:D
-
What a cracking oddity of a bike :shocked:...Very nice indeed :daumenhoch:
Im going to have to find one of these :4_17_5:
-
I've already called dib dobs on this, now I'm bouble-dibbing.
If this rides as good as it looks I'm selling all my bikes and scouring the earth to find one - it looks mint Rob, can't wait to have a go on it on the 7th Jan :smitten:
-
This gonna be one of my favorite builds of the year 8)
-
the slams are the best choice tbh rob, esp in chrome, i only mentioned the fly's because of the V,
one thing that does jar my eye is the fork topcap, maybe polish or re-ano, i can ask ken at zodiac eng if he can make you one that echoes the style of the old stem,
maybe polish the spacers too,
tell us about the cranks you're planning? redline flites? those retro profiles would look mint too,
i think the gold wheels would be a bit overkill, something in all chrome would lift the whole bike to another level,
only suggestions like,
:daumenhoch:

gold nips could pull it together without overkill
lovin the backend on that dude :daumenhoch:

thanks guys, blown away with all the comments :daumenhoch:
Banged the cranks, bars and seat in this morning.......bit dark in the cave so the pictures are a bit rubbish.

Joe my wheels are behind the frame, chrome sun rims but the rear has red annodise spokes on a Ti axled n driver hub :daumenhoch: they are off my old rider but will have to do for now :daumenhoch: tyres will probably be tan walled Primo V monsters
-
:2funny:
that looks fooking great rob :smitten:
dk post suits it really well, i was going to suggest a thomson but the dk works better tbh,
tan wall primo's will be spot on,
i keep thinking about the stem/spacers, might be worth stripping the spacers and the headset dust cover, give it more of an impression of the old "1 chrome headsets, only suggestions as always,
the ring too, its very pretty and suits the build down to a tee, it would just look amazing polished against the redline flites,
looking forward to seeing the wheels on it tbh!
-
Yeah agree totally on the spacers.......they were just spares knocking about to be honest......polished ones ordered :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
-
Was just about to offer to send you some silver spacers, lmk if you need some, I've got loads.
That is superb, shame it'll never lay in the bottom of the Boardroom bowl like all its predecessors!!!
Keep at it!
MM
-
No probs mate......huge thanks for the offer though..
What makes you think I won't be cleaning floors with this like o did the others? ;D
-
Looking forward to seeing this built. :daumenhoch:
-
This is really exciting seei g it come together. You're making one hell of a job with it buddy :4_17_5:
-
Thanks again guys......one choice I have though. Gold oddy evo II or black AD999 ?
I'm leaning towards the evo II ???
-
I've got a black evo 2, black monolever and black odyssey linear cable for sale if you're interested :daumenhoch:
-
Thanks mate but if I went evo it would be gold, already have the black 999 :daumenhoch:
-
Ok mate :daumenhoch:
-
either would look good, i like the edgey cnc look of the Ad but the curvier(sp?) EVO has a more caliper look to it,
-
Hmmmmm food for thought. I shall sleep on it and decide in the morning :LolLolLolLol:
-
Gold hubs, chrome rims... :daumenhoch:
-
rob its looking good mate and sure i have some red and gold headset spacers in me bag
and what about a hope stem cap i also have one of them in gold lol
-
Rob - that is sweet mate !! :4_17_5:
-

-
