Creating a (hybrid) Frankenstein - tips?

[swee'pea99]

Absolutely, pete. (Or can I call you porkie?) Witness my hot tips on this thread. Just don't feel it would be quite right for this 'ere beastie.

(I emailed the guy with the sweet bars, but no response yet. We shall see...)

I'd spotted a couple of those "hot tips" myself !

I'm local to gratts (and I've a car), so I'll see what I can do to help him out. I know what it's like as student / first job, and well recall cycling home one Friday from what is now a long-gone "real LBS" , with my first 531 frame around my shoulders, spent weekend stripping components off one bike to put it on new frame so as to get to work Monday... and in those days no Sunday opening!

That's really kind of you pete - hope he appreciates it. I heard back from the man with the bars by the way - aiming to bid.

Did you get to work on Monday?
