got a replacement frame last week so i did a bit of late night tinkering to get the parts transferred over form the outgoing frame...took me 1 hour to do the bulk of the transfer...only jobs left are to fit new gear cable and outer and shorten the steerer tube...
oh and its a 26"

Is that rug from the rug merchant?
Circle print cushions with stripe wallpaper?
Nice bike.
Silver TV stand?
No, no, no. That will not do.
Could you squeeze a couple more ornaments on that shelf behind the couch, looks a bit bare,
Interesting fireplace design.
Is this a student flat ?
I'd have tidied up after the break in before building a bike, but each to their own.
Are those drawers real Ikea.......nice! 8)
Mantelpiece is a bit short, nor is it central.
Scented candles for teh sexeh times?

Answered your own question there.
Circle print cushions with stripe wallpaper?
the cushion is from upstairs,,,,my daughter brought it down and we keep forgetting to take it back up
Silver TV stand?
thats a temporary one while the glass one gets replaced...

there's always space for more... 😛
Is that rug from the rug merchant?
who's the rug merchant? i bought that a few years ago from a rug trader who bore an uncanny resemblance to Stavros Flatley
i see the pisstakers are bang on form today... 🙄
Is that a 3 seater saddle?

And we haven't even mentioned [i]that decal[/i] on the top tube.

What is understood doesn't need to be discussed.
Why does the saddle remind me of a pit bull?

too much clutter, is there a bike in the pics somewhere?
Very nice bike, trim that Steerer down though! 😀

put the TV in the unused fireplace and save a corner

the blue frame had a longer headtube but when i fitted the fork on i left it longer as that frame was only a temporary measure...its marked up to the right length and will get shopped down at some point this week
as for the cluttered room...thats what happens when there are 3 kids in the house...as soon as we tidy up...the stuff reappears
as for the decal...it says gonzy...not fonzy and it was a test sample to see how it stuck to the frame as the paint finish is different to that on the blue frame...me and a friend are starting a custom decal/graphic business so we were testing random samples to different paint finishes to see how the stick...once we're up and running we will be able to produce custom or replica decals for most applications
No work stand and not in the shed / garage / workshop.
So that's a fail from me.
no room in the shed...dont have a garage/workshop...i keep telling myself i will get a stand but never get round to it...sorry sir..must try harder!
[i]as for the decal...it says gonzy...not fonzy[/i]
My eyes definitely see 'fonzy'.
The only tool visible is the rubber mallet. All you need innit

My rubber mallet has a white head, so one of us is wrong.

[i]does this meet STW's approval?[/i]

hardly...like you said each to their own...anyway dont you need to go read a fork manual so you know how to fill it with air? 😛
ah that clears it up 'backtofront3onzy'
Todays best thread, cheers Gonzy/Jamie
Nice bike tho mate. Nice to see another user of 26"

That sounds like a plastic faced mallet.
I'd expect a rubber mallet to be black, but I suspect they can come in different colours...

Already done, thanks to you 🙂

Still looks like Fonzy. Must be my eyes.

Ace skillz matching the seat collar to the rug.
Do the cuffs also match the collars?
The fireplace in the 2nd pic looks like it should be in the "my eye" thread..
Great bike, enjoy 😉
Do the cuffs also match the collars?
if you look closely in the second pic you can see the red lock-on clamps on the white grips...so yes the cuffs are mathcing 😛
Nice bike. Love the comments about the clutter. I dream of being able to keep a few square feet of our house clear for long enough to build a bike, so it looked positively minimalist to me 🙂
Not exactly the question I was asking......
😉
Other than the pine/mahogany together faux pax its a lovely room ...
Stickers on your chest of drawers?
What are you like, thirteen? 😉
Nice looking bike though. Maybe needs a black fender.
🙂
