looks pretty robust ken.....nice one.
the red looks shit but the rest is lovely 🙂
Nice - apart from the gear cables as there is enough red elsewhere on the bike 🙂
BTW why are the welds like putty?
You'll probably expect this...but the red cables ruin it. I normally love your bikes - especially the polished Morning Glory!
+1 for red cabling looking shit.
It's a Curtis, doesn,t need overdressing with garish colouring, the frame does the speaking.
So changing the brake hoses to red wouldn't be a popular move then 😉
No, you need white hoses 😉 . I like the red bits. Nothing wrong with a little colour co-ordination to personalize your bike. Looks like a whole lotta fun - love those forks too.
Nice stem. Looks familier :O)
Now, about that Pace frame.................

Mama, I'm liking your idea. It already has Goodridge fitted so just need to get hose
That looks like a fun ride.
Ken, I've emailed you for some info'.

Did I get that stem off you? That was ages and ages ago. I just bought it coz it's so nice. V pleased I now have a bike to go with it.
I'll have to have a think about your Pace.....it's very tempting espesh as I have the matching jacket 😳
Lose the red cables. Other than that, it's a beauty!
dunno, i like the cables, hate the red grips though
I like the cables
I like the way you've set the tyre logos to the valves, 90 degrees, nice.
Red cable outers spoil the show though, and those grips, WTF were you thinking.

Ken report back on your thoughts when you get out on it - I doubt you will ever see another Curtis like it 😯
Dat's purdy
Nice frame. Gawd awful finishing.
[quoteBTW why are the welds like putty?
Cos they're brazed?
You did and it was a long time ago. I got it direct from X-Lite and I still remember it fondly. Lovely bit of work.

It is fillet brazed which reduces the likelyhood of cracking over a welded frame
