Got home today to find an oddly square box in the east wing study :LolLolLolLol:
Was expecting a frame and forks but the box also had a set of original bars, 4 spinner pegs, acs rotor and front weinmann brake smuggled away in the crazy assortment of packing materials ;D
Honestly i think the seller must have been diving around in the bins behind lidl but it did the job :LolLolLolLol:

Nice. Fella
-
WOW!love it Clint,never guessed that.Are they French?Look alot better than MBK's.It looks like the lovechild of a Scwinn freeform and a decade.Can't wait to see it built :daumenhoch:
-
What year is it?87/88? :idiot2:
-
Cheers. 87 full chromo :daumenhoch:
-
:daumenhoch: nice one no f00ker was going to guess that one , looks good the frame half white and chrome
-
It looks great. Very dacade'ish in the half chrome half paint.
It will be good to see it when it's finished. Are you going for half chrome half paint?
-
Not sure what i'm doing with it yet, had some crazy ideas but now i have seen it in the flesh i may go the chrome and paint route :daumenhoch:
-
Thats one cool find bud . I love the chrome n white in the pic i think you should do that unless your heart is set on pink.
is it gonna be done for the Rad meets
-
Dont know when it will be done Darren, would be nice to give it a few runs out.
The chrome is alot thicker in the unpainted areas and in decent rider nick, where the paint went its much thinner, i guess to save time/money etc so if i painted it stock she could be a decent rider straight out the box :daumenhoch:
Looking at a few peregrine parts for it as they were stock but i may throw a few oddities on it as its such an unusual bird ;)

Sounds like it was painted before and someone stripped it :daumenhoch:
-
yeah chrome and white looks cool .. dont see that often 8)
-
Well I'd never have guessed that frame set - don't think I've ever come across it before. Love the white and chrome combo :smitten:
-
Sounds like it was painted before and someone stripped it :daumenhoch:
Yeah i recon so, there is a distinctive change in the chrome finish and a suggestion of the original colour inside the bb

was it white Clint?'maybe a trip to the painters before you build it?? :daumenhoch:
-
Oddly enough there is a sort of Haro coral pink inside the bb but white here and there on the frame. Will probably go with the white if i do paint it :daumenhoch:
-
Starway... it crossed my mind while reading your guess topic, but I thought no way :LolLolLolLol:
-
Looking forward to seeing it built up. :)
-
I like that.The white and chrome for me.You just need to get a pair of those mirrored wrap around shades now. :coolsmiley:
-
Yeah i like your thinking with the glasses, anyone know what they were called?
Had a quick look on the bay but no luck
-
:smitten: :smitten: yet another cool & different frame set, can't wait to see it built up.....
great find you lucky bugger :daumenhoch:
-
Had an eventfull evening with this, decided to give the chrome a bit of a polish to see what sort of finish i could expect. Well please with the results.
The areas which had the thicker chrome came up a treat and minus the odd blemish here and there will look great once painted saving me a fair few bob an a rechrome.
Better still the geometry kept catching my eye and made me dig out a tape measure.... 19 3/4 inch top tube :daumenhoch:
Seems very roomy for an 87 frame, anyone know of anything similar length wise of that age?
