[#1105138]

Mmmmm , I started this morning with a quick tool box tidy during which I spotted a frame in the coner of the garage. Then dug out three sets of forks ,stem,bars cranks and thought hooligan bike ! Ok so im short of a few bits but it wouldnt take much cash to have another(yes another) useable bike . What do you think and which option ?

Anyway the suns out so a short road ride to the bike shop maybe called for.
