Title: THE "I'm not building any more bikes" ......BUILD!!!
Post by: dwain dibbly on March 04, 2015, 07:37 PM

So I've gone and done it again. i said i was done building after years of watching prices rise and rise i was ready for throwing the towel in, but when this frame set came up i had to have it. its and early curved brake bridge serial number 0000032 !!
at first i was just going to rape parts from a few of my other builds and knock it together, but i thought it deserved better than that. so i started collecting parts to do it justice. i did get a little carried away and finally built it using loads of NOS parts! :shocked:
