That's the most logical explanation, as it's impossible to not build a bike in this time

I heard he has ordered a 2011 P7 and is going to build it in 2012 0

How's the build going? Why not tell us what problem/s you have encountered and maybe we can help. You've got a lot of followers here waiting for an update

Hi guys,
Long time no type!
I've been rather ill for a few weeks and its stopped me finishing the bike completely. Thankfully the main build was done quite quickly so its just sort and index the front gears, fit the pedals and bleed the brakes, then its all done and pics will follow. I'm still trying to get better so it may be a little bit until the final pics are up but she is looking like a beauty (at least to me anyways)
Right, where to start!
There were 2 main problems early on:
1) 1st problem and a potentially major one is that I have some nasty cracking sounds, like plastic cracking when I tightened the stem and headset bolts, and I hadn't got that tight at the time either, also the inside the steerer are at least 2 longish cracks running from the top to bottom direction, so I've been on the phone to TFTuned, who said it doesn't sound like I've done anything and its possibly a faulty steerer, so I am going to take my bike upto them next week or so to check it out, and if needed they'll sort the warranty on it for me too!
2) 2nd problem was possibly me but not 100% but the non-drive side crank bolt, washer and dust cap got all chewed and destroyed so I had to wait for the a replacement set from CRC, only cost £8 which wasn't too bad considering. The reason I'm not sure it was my fault is that the old crank bolt would only do up the arms so far and then just bind, leaving me with a half done job, but when I tried the replacement it worked all the way 1st time!
Other than those 2 problems the build has been virtually event free which is great as its my 1st ever attempt at a bike build, especially as I'm not a mechy type person either!
I've learn't some valuable skills and overall, apart from being ill, its been an enjoyable experience, one that I'd love to do again sometime!
Anyways, pics as soon as possible, and sorry for the delays chaps Orange 2010 P7 - Custom Build - My New Bikey Poos

Gerrit built :P
been changing stuff about on mine recentlty and trying a few different setups.... its hard to find a balance on a bike that runs so well at long travel as it does at short travel!
Been riding around at 135mm mostly, but cranking it up to 15omm for anything downy pointy!0 -
