Hmmm… that reminds me, I need to feed my dog his evening meal.

i do not remember the nishiki alien looking that bad!

Through exploration, comes innovation.

How many tubes do we need to make this bike!

Yes

Please, someone bid on it so I can stop thinking about train tickets to London.

I see LLS has had its day…

to be fair its the best internal cable routing i’ve ever seen.

I’ve built a frame with long head tube.
I’ve built an e-stay.
I’ve built twin tubes.

@mick_r nice! My Stooge has a twin top tube, but not internal routing.

Forgot to follow this up a couple of days ago.
It went for the £50, way too cheap. I’d have definitely had a cheeky bid if I lived nearer London or they offered shipping.
