[Fnaar]

Made an Appt. at a frame builders !

Any advice......?

Do they do bifocals?

 

[yenrod]

brilliant.

Ok
through the top tube cable run for rear brake
2x bottle cage bosses (use one for tool bottle )
Chain hanger boss on rear stay
Integral cast gear cable guide on bottom bracket (no plastic rubbish )
vertical rear drop outs
integral headset

what a brilliant idea . What tube material are you going for ? steel I hope

note to self' read all posts'

Yeah ive got the above sorted !

853 !

 

[yenrod]

Do they do bifocals?

Well it was the bit whereby he said its 'effectively a compact with a long top tube'

That I raised my eye-brows...

No, its not its a 74 parralel with a long top-tube.

I should be getting my new mount SOON ! ie 853 frame custom will let you's know..on the 1st thread I kicked off in regards to it

(all my cycling knowledge has gone into it and experience of handling of bikes etc.. & the likes, so we'll see if its got any substance

)

I'm reportedly 'picking it up' a week a Sat. if everything goes to PLAN

Just make sure you tell 'em which way you want the window to open!

Announcing the Marriage of Yenrod & The Black 1

Very nice.............. about time there.....

It's got plastic forks though...... some of us have steel forks, and chrome too...heh heh....

Bloody gorgeous that...................

 

[Crackle]

Where are you going to attach the mudguards and rack?

 

[Crackle]

Very nice actually Yenners, look forward to seeing the build.

 

[yenrod]

Well I would've had it built if i'd've thought on and got a braze-on front mech.

So, that'll come in week then I can swap me bits...and the price of STi is pretty hefty imo...to have a 2nd bike but I aint got the space...

And if I was getting another - it'd be a non-susp. MTB ! = real riding

Still, I'll 'snap' (the goff) it when it's together for yuz.



Lastly, Steve Goff is a real nice bloke; discerning, an acute eye for detail, exceptional experience (since '87)...a 1 man band - you cannot but get a real GEM of a frame as he only works on 1 frame at a time

It was a total pleasure to shake the mans hand - knowing he'd done such a work of art
