Looks great already, liking the anno red :daumenhoch: Going to look even better on Graph's :4_17_5:

Some quality parts on that! What is the BB?
-
You'll probably sell it within a week of it being built! :D

diety.

:) Watch that chainline with the external BB :daumenhoch: If you space the freewheeel you might run into problems with the chain grinding the seatstay...:(
-
Now , I haven't really followed this whole 24" skyway thread so is it just me who thought they were going to come as 1" frames with caliper brakes ?
Maybe I'm just a bit of a spazzer but isn't that what everyone would have prefered ?

Will do James, might have to put the chain wheel on the wrong side... ;)

I thinks that's probably the UK consensus but a lot of Yanks still race, even if not highly competativley. So market research indicated a new school feel was more important than a retro one.
I like these but what a buzz riding round a a re issue of the orginal TA cruiser would have been eh?
Loving it so far Sam :daumenhoch:

shame you are going to fook it up with skyways :-* you should get some hubs to match your headset and let me build you some proper wheels 8)

1920's is modern compared to 1730 :)

Tuffs roll great on these ride outs we all go on, they have delivered me safely from pub to pub on the last two radchester rides so if rolling around is all your doing they are great.
So what are you doing with the brakes then Sam?
The annode dc mx2 v brakes look nice for just rolling round and would suit the bike.( haven't bothered reading any reveiws but as all i would be doing is rolling i don't need to)
I notice that porkies only sell right hand levers so if your wanting to be road legal and use a front too it leaves you in a bit of a dilemma for getting a left side anodised lever.
I haven't decided anything on what to do with mine yet but have been looking around at bits.
If you want those levers and can get hold of a left would you be able to buy a spare right from porkies and remove the lever bit from the body so you would have an anodised left and right of your colour choice?
It looks as though they are only connected to the housing by an allen bolt instead of a rivet so could be do-able.

i'm gona put red tech 4's on with red 1020 calipers once i've drilled the rear brake bridge, keeping looking O/S... ;)

I was just wondering when looking at my frame last night if that would work. I know with it been round there's only one place to put the hole, unlike some of the os brake bridges where it's more like a slot.
Have you had a little mock up, won't it look odd with the v mounts?
-
Wll I never really thought I'd like these new 24's but they're starting to grow on me and now I'm wanting one :yahoo_silent:

i will make sure all fits when the wheels come before any drilling. i know its a shame about the V mounts, might have to carefully cut them off... >:D

Cut them off and cover the damage with chrome tape :daumenhoch:
