Just built this, with a Kona Paddywagon frame super cheap off CRC!

Built with bits lying around my garage

Mavic G40's with Gipiemme hubs

Campagnolo Chorus brakes and cranks.

Rolls saddle.

Rode it a couple of times and love it, cheapest bike i've ever built.

That would have been me. Normally has a big white Ortlieb bag on the back, say Hi. It was also a week ago, as I've been away. Will be back on the bike next week.

And yes, that's the bridge from Colnbrook. LHR on Easterly operations.

Not on that fork It's a Roadhog. Less risk of ejection under braking (and let's not open that discussion in this thread), easier to fit mudguards and it had the same dimensions as the fork it replaced. but thanks for pointing it out

Rationale behind it here. You need to scroll down a little.
