C'mon Gaz get cracking and finish the bike.. we want more piccies the finished article... in a Cycle Plus style.. ie you bombing round a corner with your hands on the drops lol

I'm hoping to have it done on Saturday , just working so many darn hours at the moment ( plus I'm fettling the SS at the same time too )

Could you recommend a nice bell ? I hear your the bell expert round these parts ? ;-)

And if it's a carbon seat post, swap it for an older metal post while you are using the stand and clamp to that.

 

[gb155]
