Wheels ordered and due in April, but have everything else!
Will post final pictures of the finished bike!
😆
awesome whats the colour?how much was it?
Should have got rid of all the cable guides pre-paint job...and the mech hanger.NO GOING BACK!
spangley paint, that's going to look fab is sunlight
Ye, I could of ground the cable guides away, but the frame is too much like rocking horse poo with it being a slot drop out frame and beside, if I sell the frame on?
It sucks, black was nicer. You should give the frame to me pronto.
Candles are wonky
The colour is just a standard Ral colour with a course silver fleck added to a clear lacquer for the final coats!
Worth more as a "proper" frame....and lighter 😉
I'll let the wife know the candles need attention! 😉
awesome dude were did you get it done?
Mate in North Featherstone!
He did my other in Kawasaki green with the same silver fleck. I give him £40 per frame.BARGAIN!

Is that featherstone just past Wolverhampton ?
West Yorkshire!
It's going to look amazing!
S3!The front ring is 32 and the back is 19.
Cool bike!
what forks are you going to use?
love the colour!
Lucky,
Using Exotic rigid carbon!
Nice.
Does your mate do it as a job ?
I might be interested. Guessing £40 might be a mates rate, but intrested to see what he'd charge.
And,...nice house also. 🙂
He wouldn't charge you much more if any!
If your local to West Yorks then I'll give you his details! If so, email me! 😉
So, let me get this right............., this has 29er wheels, single speed and you ride off road in the Yorkshire dales and get your bikes dirty.
You wont fit in around here.......... 😀
Well! It will have wheels when Hope decide to deliver them! 😕
Also thinking about buying some of the Shimano spd sandals I've seen in the shop today, but they only do them in Black and I want the proper sandal brown ones to go with my new image! 8)
I think Shimano are about to launch these for SS 29er specific riders.

I think the sandals will look great on with white sock? 😆
Plus an SS specific beard too......

Forks now on! 😀

I can see marks on the kitchen table where the drop outs have been. 😯
Character marks!
chainslapp - a 29er will already have grown his or her beard and will already own sandals.
However the links may be useful for people who ride with little wheels and want to look like they have a grownup bike. 😆
Nice seatpost 😉
purchased from a true gentleman. 🙂Nice seatpost
So it wasnt my old one then!
Pop! Just one complaint! You left some dirt on the screw threads! 😆
Thats proper cannockshire mud- could have charged extra for that!
LOOKIN SWEET BUD keep the photos rollin
what make are the forks and were did you get them please?
The forks are made by a company called Exotic. Check out the web for prices, but they start around £50 for the Aluminium up to around £100 for the carbon ones!
I got my second hand from a nice chap off this web site and the forks are as new! 🙂
s3, i'm having crests with hope hubs!
