« on: January 07, 2011, 05:05:04 PM »
i built this for a mate a couple of years ago for his 40th birthday, just before xmas he gave it me back, having done about 20 miles on it in the last 2 years, and not seeing himself ever riding it, its now back in my shed awaiting what im going to do with it now!!

That looks very nice John. I have envy of your chair as well.

I loved reading about the build of that bike (the curly front 'guard stays still make me laugh  ;)). It's good to see it still looking good, it's a pretty little bike.
