Title: What builds have you got Planned for 2008?
Post by: Zippy on December 06, 2007, 11:34 PM
I've got about 4 old school builds to start or finish.

Ater that though it's probably going to be restricted to one a year and make sure that it's a good one. They'll all be either mid or new school then as well. Starting with my Hoffman EK. :daumenhoch:

My own take on Harris' Dirt Bros TA. but currently I can't afford a TA frame, so that's just  a dream.  >:(

no mate, the build was awesome, really really pleased. they lowered the floor to give me head height as I'm 6' 2", we knew it'd be tight as the roof height was low, it's a semi, so we could raise the overall roof height. But I never thought when I ordered the the shower cabinet and tray how tight it would be, as the shower sits on plinth anyway to allow access to underneath, as the floor can't be taken up.

anyway, one very expensive low profile stone resin shower tray later and all was good.

the bedroom is fantastic, another thing, decide where your tv is going and have the cables put in the wall, with socket and aerial point where you want it to go, for a nice slick flat screen no wires look.

think this is off topic now....oh no it said "build" i think we are ok.  :LolLolLolLol:

I decided recently (as we all do from time to time) that I had finished building BMX's (old, mid and new school).  It is weird then that I currently have 4 frames awaiting parts and I am looking for a high end new school race bike. 

Is this madness ever going to end??????   :LolLolLolLol:
