Slow burner frame and forks build alert 😂
I saw a frame on eBay I liked the look of. Done a bit of research and the Viceroy frame is the same as the Puch Challenger Pro, some were Japanese built by Kuwahara. The Puch and Viceroy both came with Akisu forks apparently. So I buy the frame which is still yet to be unpacked. It came with some mid school freestyle forks that were honestly listed as non original. Then this evening, the seller messages me and lets me know the original forks have just been listed. I showed some interest and was told it is not his listing but it’s the bloke that sold him the frame. The forks were part of a bundle, I’d only want the forks though. I message the bloke and he very kindly offers to split the bundle and part with just the forks. Nice one! Forks purchased and will eventually be reunited with their original frame after a bit of a clean up.
The plan is to wait until spring, get cracking and build the bike by raiding the spares in the cave.
