Hinge function presumably… I’m not seeing much positive…

Good work OP, although it looks to me like you haven’t got valve and tyre markings lined up correctly.

I’m building a new (2nd hand) bike for the missus, here’s my progress:

Chris – nice bike bud, and well done for holding out for the bits you want. I’ve always ending up buying a few cheaper bits just to get out and ride, only to spend even more cash replacing those bits later…

However, I hope you can see the funny side of the dry humoured responces – I haven’t laughed so much in ages!

my god, someone with a sense of humor at last,…and we can’t even blame it on kicking out time!!

Looking good that! It’d drive me mad building a bike over months, good on yer.

(blue is a bit difficult, because every blue component you can buy is a different bloomin shade of blue! I’m building a blue 224 and I’m just not getting into blue ano parts, it’s black white or blue paint.)

thx to all that said good things about my build 🙂 your right, i am just showing off my ” first ever bike build ” because im really enjoying building it as its my own project id like to share with people 🙂 and yes i am going 1 x 10 with possibly the new shimano slx cranks hope blue ceramic BB blue hope floating rotors gold chain, shimano 10 speed casette and saint rear mech-shifter, sounds like a good spec to me 🙂

You’re now at the “only got most of it to do” stage.

I’ve got a bell if you want it. £3 posted?

no but ive got the end? put two and two together sup to you 😀

Nice one chris will look sweet when finished.
Might be worth popping an add in wanted for anything you still require.
Unless of course your taking your time and want to buy everything new if so crc is your friend.
Looks good though mate.

yep most bits from crc or the lbs 🙂
