Post by: Jt on March 18, 2009, 05:45 PM: mate, for a first build, that aint bad...

i remember doing mine and i thouroughly enjoyed doing it...its a good buzz eh?

so, as far as adivce goes, heres mine....
drop the stem a little bit, 1 cm gap tops to your headset...pull your bars back so they are perfectly vertical, and thats the stance sorted...

then you have a good look at it, look at some other bikes in the museum, and you have another fiddle however you think...

thats what its all about..

oh, and clean your wheels..them grubby finger marks do it no justice whatsoever :D

welcome aboard mate :daumenhoch:

but lose the seat mate :P

Not bad first build at all

nice colour scheme and Powerlites are a decent frame too
plus I'm a sucker for Tuffs :smitten:

What's your next one gonna be?

Post by: Stodgy on March 18, 2009, 05:54 PM: I agree with JT - some simple tweaks will finish it off.

I like the Powerlite frames but they are a race frame and should in purist terms be built with race parts. But, TBH it's your bike and if you're happy then job done!

Nice one

Welcome to the site and roll on the next build!!!
