And price?

Looks the nuts.

They are making 150 of these frame and fork set's. This one is from the first batch of 50 which i know are all sold out. If you go to www.coloredtuffs.com they should have more info there but as far as i know the whole lot are sold. :daumenhoch:
-
Very nice James :4_17_5:
-
very nice mate :daumenhoch: what spec are you going for? (bet its built before the weekend ;D)
-
Well it wont be complete before the weekend as i still need a white / silver izumi chain :LolLolLolLol:
Some parts will be high end like the stupidly expensive skyway race bars, some parts not so highend. Got a very rare NOS white Kuwahara stem but not sure wheather to use it or not. Might look for a skyway one. Cranks are sugino CT's with skyway pedals. Wheels are new tuffs but again might but alloy hubbed ones on at a later date. Got a NOS shotgun II sadle for her :smitten: :smitten:

Divorce in the waiting :LolLolLolLol: She did say she might model it when its built :LolLolLolLol:
Like your thinking Mat, will look forward to seeing yours finished :smitten:
