was or is there a ride you wish you had not started,im at that stage right now.
everything is going wrong ,just not the way i started and had to change it lots.
-
Thankfully not yet. Although I have only built seven bikes so far, i'm sure it will happen though.
HRD
-
yup I've had several just like that.
its come down to the same thing every time... patience
-
loads of them....got one that's even gone beyond 3 years now and I'm still tinkering. Or spent loads of money on a resto with paint and decals and bought all the parts and just couldn't be bothered to build them in the end, done that a few times....
-
what you stuck on dan?
-
lol i just had one.
never looked right to me from the start lol.
-
It is a amazing how a build can change. My DeCoster build changed drastically from how I planned.
When I started building it I just thought that throwing a set of racing bike cranks on and some old parts then I would be happy.... Far from it. I started getting completely anal about NOS date correct parts, not just era correct but NOS 1979 correct. It ended up a really difficult build to complete but I loved doing it.

i am building a gt and i hate the bugger,hate it hate it,i dont like the colour ,i dont like the parts
infact i just hate it .i love the bike but it sjust gone all wrong this time.
im just awaiting decals to see if i rearly need to repaint so we shall see.

I built my new race bike today, took 3 hours and other then putting the power disc on wrong it was a very easy and satisfying build, In fact I may have to post pics later :angel:
-
you bugger ;)
-
:LolLolLolLol:i knew it would be the GT :LolLolLolLol: :4_17_5: :10_2_12:
-
and its your fault,your a bugger too :'(
-
Yep a few dan
the race inc cruiser that you have, just lost interest
the aero pro , everything bar decals and just lost interest
the goose that ratty bought , just restored the frame and then lost interest lol
a DB that i just couldnt be arsed with
But the biggest shock for me was the new Ripper i have just done, I had a plan , and now that plan is all over the place, your right stidds amazing how builds mutate and what looks good in the mind looks rubbish built
I had a dream of Blue tuffs on a white ripper and it looked wrong lol
so now it has spokes

Yeah I agree , I reeeeeeeeally likin dose bars :D
As for framesets and projects
some haven't been touched and passed on
some got powdered ,,,,, waited ,,,,,,then passed on
3 got to the stage of just assembling and simply got rid because I'd bought another grand project :idiot2:
I'm already looking at others before my latest is finished again ,,,,,DOH ,,,,, must resist :P
