Well, more of a timelapse video of the build I've just done this afternoon.

Decided to rebuild my old Chameleon as a singlespeed for going down the pump track with the boys and stuff like that. Frame, forks, wheels, cranks all bought off STW over the last couple of years (forks & cranks a couple of weeks ago just for this build though).

EDIT - can't show a Flickr video here, so this is the link if you're bothered...

Benny Hill indeed! I'm a serious bicycle mechanic, I have you know.

Any road up, I've blobbed it onto Youtube now so I can embed it here...

gofasterstripes - the missus asked for a blue bike once and she now sleeps in the coal shed until she knows what's best.

Chunky - They were multi-coloured checkered ones with some pink. Sorry to disappoint.

Pump track + balance bike that's some skills from your offspring! Or did I read your intro wrong.

Cannot even sensibly criticise your gardening.

Can you fit some rigid red forks to the sc please as the white sus ones aren't in uniform with the others and seeing as the sc is the newcomer it should change. ๐Ÿ˜€
