CAAD4 Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Apparently one must first convert to flats before that bru!I'm a big Eagles fan and with the recent below zero temps, nothing would surprise me...

NotSoBigBen Posted July 3, 2021 Author Posted July 3, 2021 Bit of an update to these bikes... Been a bit 'bored' so decided to tackle something I've been thinking about for a while. The Orange/black frame had been repaired at the seat tube, the silver one on the left chain stay. Neither of the welds have given any trouble but might as well build one frame with all the best bits. Naturally one can't have this hodge podge of colours so a paint update might as well be done ???? Was also an opportunity to upgrade the rear from QR to TA, again a challenge because it uses a longer than normal axle ????... Found an axle but the lever was bent, off to my aluminium welder mate to get it extended by 10mm and sort the lever. Anyway long story short, here's the result!

Hope to do lots of bike build like yourself when the kids have grown up. Forget about Dangerholm, we have NSBB. Ps. Where is the photo in the shorts! BogusOne and NotSoBigBen 1 1

I must say I enjoy the tinkering, building and finding solutions almost as much as riding. Retirement has its benefits, time is not an issue ???? BogusOne and DJuice 2
NotSoBigBen Posted July 7, 2021 Author Posted July 7, 2021 What the heck might as well give the carbon 'fly an update as well ???? DJuice and Mars1967 2

RocknRolla Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 The one on the right for mondays…. And the one on the left when you are feeling fast…. NotSoBigBen and Gerhard Gous 2
MudLark Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 Very neat! I have an aluminium one (still in the original black and blue) and am very fond of it. They are great bikes. NotSoBigBen 1
Mars1967 Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 I am really enjoying your builds. Both bikes look awesome. NotSoBigBen 1
