Bad Back= New bike project

xcMuttley

Hi, you may have seen some of my previous posts and seen that i have a serious back problem (Im 16 and its been going on 20 months) Its got to the point now were im spending most of my time in a wheelchair so obviously im unable to ride, But instead of not doing anything i have got myself a project to do. The money has come from selling a bike i made before(Find "How much would you pay for this" if you want to have a look at it) And from selling a guitar. I have £260 and no more to spend building it,
Please remember it may take me a while to complete it as it is harder doing all the jobs from a wheelchair( Some of the jobs wont be done by me but by my Dad as it would simply be far to painful for me)
So here are the pictures of it so far: http://s1070.photobucket.com/albums/u500/Xcmuttley/
Thanks for reading, happy to answer any questions you might have i will hopefully update it soon

Going to be a good little bike when you're done.

How long are you going to be in your chair though? Surely building a pimp set of wheels for that is a far bigger priority!!! :twisted:

Get well soon bud

Thank you i will keep posting more pics when i get further along with it,
Not sure how long i will be in my wheelchair hopefully not to long its been 6 months already in the chair 14 months before that it was mainly crutches, i should have thought i could have got carbon fibre parts and eveything haha
Thank you, i will be back riding again soon i hope

Having real trouble getting a pair of deep v wheels from fixed gear frenzy, they came badly scratched about three weeks ago and i have complained numerous times and i dont seem to have got any further with getting them replaced, Im not the only who has had this problem it seems, if your thinking of getting anything from them have a look see if you can getting anywere else first

More pics uploaded got all parts but the wheels, got my wheels replaced and the second set came scratched too!!! Unbeliavable DO NOT USE FIXED GEAR FRENZY is all i have to say im having trouble getting my money back now too, My Dad ended up painting my frame and forks turns out its rather hard to spray from a wheelchair, just have to let it dry for 7 days or so then i can start putting parts on it more pics to come soon!!
