..isn’t that lovely?

What angles are those?

Was it welded by a gibbon?

badly painted gate?

That is utterly gorgeous!

looks lovely.love the colour scheme and attention to detail in the design.

£149 in Halfords?

+ 7.99 for a tin of Hammerite to make it look ok.

you just don’t appreciate art, you don’t.

awesome …….reminds me of tafi,ballerini etc

Not sure there are enough photo’s though

im not sure, i need more pictures to make my mind up.

edit: bah ninja’d

I like it a lot!

Haven’t done road bikes for years but that’s sweet !

Bit rich for me though.

On One Inbred? 23 inch?

Could buy a really good Mercian for that price…

Gorgeous.

a proper frame, bit pricey though.

Not generally a fan of lugged frames, but that’s rather special.

Beautifully constructed, the shifter lugs are perfection…no evidence of braze…which is especially difficult to achieve.

What’s even better; the fact that the chavs wouldn’t have a clue as to its pedigree 😉

Although I have to agree with carlosg, it’s just too ‘Quality Street’ for me.

“What angles are those? Was it welded by a gibbon? “

Another GG great, theres not a weld on it. Shakes head.

Epic bike knowledge FAIL! Ernesto, who will be grateful of the On-One comparison, will probably be sending the horses head right now…..

Lovely frame though not my favourite colour

but it will build into a proper bike.

Gary – you have a talent!

That’s lovely…

There are some beautiful touches on that and yet i still don’t that value in it. 🙄

I had the same frame but slightly newer, with a slightly more garish 70s fairground waltzer paintjob. Gave it to my dad when I moved, he still uses it…
