[#6794176]

He came to me at the end of summer last year to build him up a bike for 'next year'. After forum searching and Ebay scouring (thanks to all on here who sold me various gubbins along the way) we ended up building this little ripper: [img] [/img]

He gave me an ideal spec of the build when we first talked about it and happy to say apart from the SLX crank (which we couldn't turn down at the price for a new one) then its exactly what he wanted....well almost as he had specced Revs not Pikes but again another bargain that couldn't be turned down.

Here is said mate after his first ride on the bike:(love a thumbs up)

Looks good, you even got the clothes pegs to line up.

Hadn't noticed the pegs, must be the STW way ingrained within ๐Ÿ˜€

The slabbing on the entrance to that little play house is a total joke, never mind the state of the grass.

Bike looks lovely

Is that a parking ticket on the trampoline?

Maybe his head is wonky, ergo the go-pro is level in use???

You're so cruel....

refreshingly un-niche - nice!

I used to have a stumpy with brain shock and thought it was the business once set up right.

sort the bottom of the fence out you can see through the broken one to next door, grey pipe work looks wonky, rockery needs attention and the trampoline paving slab makes me itch....

nice bike though
