I'm just a serial hoarder.

Bikes finished and I'm really pleased with the result, I have tried to keep it subtle but it is made up with bits from my spares stash so it does contain the odd bit of red ano. Everything works as it should, it feels like a new bike I just need to play about with the fork /shock pressures. Will post some pics tomorrow when the sun makes light in the sky.

Don't post any pics, Cba with the bike envy haha.

Here is the finished article, really pleased with how its turned out, you would not think it was a 10 year old frame. Gonna take her to Llandegla for her maiden voyage. Due to me having access to an anodising service, if I like the bike I am going to get the full frame and rocker link done in a nice yet to be decided colour.

It's a lovely looking bike mate, better than the pink one.

Coming from such an attractive, stylish young man such as yourself I take that as a compliment xxx

Very nice pastey. Now when you get up in the morning you can choose whether you want to ride the pink or the brown!
