Woop woop not long till it's done 😀

nice grips

any more?

Next ones will be when it's finished 😆

Is that putty holding the tubes together?

Curtis XC by any chance? I really like the brazing on those T45 frames.

I hope it's not going to be Kawasaki green… 😉

I thought Curtis too

What's wrong with Kawa green?

R979 is close but no cigar

Is that an X-Lite Fly? Nice!

Yes it is…..the nicest looking stem ever and has matching X-Lite G Force bars too

Sweet, not seen one of those in ages, were always real nice.

Waves at fellow Curtis Buddy.

Love my SX.

Waves back…..mines a freeride 🙂

I have a red x-lite fly, last time I posted a pic of a bike with fitted on here everyone slagged it, funny how things turn around

Eye Ken I have seen your frame in the past I was tempted to buy it when you had it for sale.

But it would be too big for me as I like my frames small. (16"Soul,16"Alpine 160 and my SS Curtis SuperX)

Looking forward to the complete build pics.

I have a red x-lite fly,

Is it still red or has it gone a bit pink?

Still red last time I looked

Fancy selling it?

I wasn't part of the earlier Fly slagging. It was one of two stems I always wanted back (ITD) when I couldn't afford them. A bright blue Ringle was the other.

Nowadays I run a Thomson, which is about as dull a stem as you can find. Ironic really.

Ha ha, no plans to sorry 🙂

Might stick an ad up on retrobike then 🙁

I would still slag it rocketdog. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder but that stem is in no way good looking.

Damn, I was going to say freeride but I went with the lesser spotted XC.

Ken, not sure how to tell you this, but the top tube, seat tube and seatstays seem to be stuck together with masking tape… 😯

checked last night, still looks like this and Lenny is still on it

Lenny is cool.

That's one of the "long" ones (90mm IIRC)

Mine is only 70mm
