HAHA Dan, i had this sold as i thought i was picking up a Robbo Pro (bike i had as a kid) on saturday but it turns out to be an Expert :(
so i have decided to keep this and build it.
Luckily the buyer who was supposed to collect it was more than understanding with the situation :LolLolLolLol:

Post by: Gish on February 13, 2016, 07:38 PM: had an hour at it after tea so put the wheels on and fitted the brake cable (yes guys i decided on white to match the white skyway brake pads)
i also fitted the padset but not too sure about it at the moment. its probably because i dont usually have padsets on my bikes :-\

now i'm just waiting on the Sugino OPC to be delivered then i can get the crankset & pedals fitted and then get some decent pictures taken outside :coolsmiley:
