Post by: Paulo on April 28, 2007, 07:44 PM: That is a mighty colour frame and forks. Sets a fab bike off to a tee. I'm so jealous. It seems SE's are the bike of the moment and this is superb example.

soz for sounding stupid but I'm looking on my mobile at them at the moment and can't figure out what they are??? ??? ???
thanks to everyone one for the great comments.
this has got to be my favourite build. I will be changing some components as soon as I can find them. I need a metal hubbed front tuff and think I may upgrade to a tuf neck stem among other bits :)
