Well I'd never seen one and I cant find out a great deal about the 'dirty jo semi creme' frame.
What I have found out is that they were british made frames and are reviewed quite positively by the few that have owned one.

Anyway this is what I bought off one of the forums late one night. I got the frame, Ritchey headset, fsa seatpost and wtb saddle in the post within a couple of days. :) I was hoping it would arrive when swmbo was out but it was delivered just as she was walking out the front door :roll:

My intentions were to slowly collect the parts but I found a few bargains on various forums and couldn't say no :lol:

A brief rundown on the spec (which will probably change in time)
19 " dirty jo semi creme frame
ritchey headset
fsa seatpost
wtb saddle
juicy 3 brakes (from my old bike)
wtb stem and funn bars
deore 3x9
Marzocchi forks 100mm travel
superstar grips
hope qr seat collar
specialised control tyres
odd wheels, my rear alex gave up on me so I bought a rear from Halfords in the sale

So heres how it looks built up

I gotta say I'm really pleased with the way it looks but its even better to ride. I cant believe how much more confident I feel riding this compared to my old Saracen.

So what you all think, and how would you make it better?

Naffa :D
Cheers Nathan.
