Post by: harris on February 05, 2009, 07:42 PM: i just hopped off my fence for a change,to stretch my legs
and whilst im down should say that i love that frame and forks a real old classic
i know its an old forum thing not to say things sometimes as it about the beholders build
but alot of the 90s parts have to go ,i myself fall foul of this myself all the time ,but your frame sets way to good for the bits bolted to it,well some of them.
still looks a minty build thou :daumenhoch:

Post by: JAY on February 05, 2009, 07:58 PM: Agree with Dan here,brilliant F+F,but i would loose the parts,just my personal opinion, unless the later parts mean something to you on the build i would go with parts more closer to the age of the frameset,but yeah the F+F is well nice :daumenhoch:

Post by: munners on February 05, 2009, 08:35 PM: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The frameset is 100% spot on mate. Dont take peeps views to heart. I reckon a nice set of chrome rims and some era correct bits and bobs and your onto a winner. We all tweek our builds so there will be no loss. :daumenhoch:

Thats probably one of the most original framesets weve seen for a while on here. Love it. Very burnerish in geometry though. :shocked:

Post by: meticulous on February 12, 2009, 07:32 AM: constructive critisism is good, most peaple finish off there builds with age related parts which is in keeping with the theme.... putting a set of 18in alloys on your mk2 escort doesnt always look right.....not saying that is what you have done, i think its the chainring that throws it a bit, but it does look real nice.... :4_17_5:
Title: Re: Redline MX II finished
Post by: Redline on February 12, 2009, 01:11 PM: In my opinion... and it is only an opinion guys, you should stick with era correct parts on such a classic and "true" old school frame and forks set!

Here's my MXII... and it's NOS all the way :daumenhoch:
