Post by: Jaymz on January 23, 2012, 06:22 PM: that looks good mate, If you take a grinder to that horid seatclamp Ive got a lovely chrome GT seatclamp that would look sweet on it, and Ive got some blue anno copy DC1020's that would go well on it too, cheap cheap

Post by: Sink on January 23, 2012, 06:44 PM: Oh sounds interesting, shoot me a PM with the details.

I've sorted a seatpost of sorts, I cut the post off an old stem, made a nice chrome stumpy ;D I've Just taken it round the block and its not a bad ride, very light and easy to hop.

Title: Re: Old man syndrome, just saying hello
Post by: Sink on January 24, 2012, 06:36 PM: It is very similar indeed. The frame had a couple of decals on still, Concept cycles ltd, on the head tube and Norseman on the down tube, also a hand built decal on the seat tube, I've tried google but come up with nothing!! would be interesting to see how it was new.

Added a pair of NOS Acorn Mags, these are a cream colour, hoped to bleach them, but think it wont make much difference :crazy2:
I may dye them at a later date, but leaving it for now!

What do you think? Think my boy will be happy with it! :)
