And... as promised:
It's together And looking fugly as planned
Only a few things to do, change cranks (anyone have a 5/110 crankset they want to let go for cheap?) and add mudguards - mounts need to be made for them first but I'm in no rush.
Oh, if you couldn't tell, I hit the frame with multiple colours of a stencil I had. It is a word with meaning (to me) but it's pretty much unreadable thus makes for a nice abstract look.
That was fun, the mudguards and rack will definately complete the look. It does ride pretty well, I'm trying to get used to the higher bar position but it accelerates and corners like a demon. Unfortunately I have an issue with slipping dropouts so will have to sort out that soon, nothing a bit of engineering ingenuity can't fix. Keep an eye out for this thread for the final touches to be made.
