Ok, so the frame has taken shape.

I thought there would be many trips down to the bike shop but low and behold I have done it all by myself.
I thought getting the right chain line and aligning the gears may have been a drama due to the weird chain set-up but all good.

Going to have a crack at bleeding the old school saints on it, the pistons seem to move in and out but the pads are sooo rooted. Try before buying pads.

I have to say the backyard ride was sweet.

It's going to get some red 50mm rise handlebars in the next day or two

Anyway enjoy

I should of posted this bike when the farkin shirts were up for grabs. Would of won for sure

Do the pads, then bleed it. Brakes don't like having the pistons hanging all the way out.

I'm just concerned they may be rooted as there was a fair oil buildup around the rear caliper, I'm not the kind who can rebuild brakes (probably)
