Pond hopper

[Nobby]

hello from across the pond ,I'm based near Penrith in Cumbria ( uk) been biking and fettling for 28 yrs ,have quite a few retro mtbs and a couple of modern bikes including a titanium fat bike .always wanted to build something different so just ordered a TSP wave frame from a stockist over in Germany,got some old dh triple clamp forks and ape hanger bars I'm going to stick on it and the rest ,well I'll see how it flows ,that and what my 10 yr old son thinks as this build is going to be a joint build ( only get him on weekends) he's as mad as me about bikes so should be a fun build

Not that far away from you in Geordieland, just a heads up, we have a shop in the UK now importing TSP frames and others, shop is called Forge Cycles, guy who runs it is called Karl, has a facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/forgecustomcycles/?fref=ts

Look forward to seeing your build, i myself am wondering wether to buy a TSP frame in the wave style, its gorgeous, but as i cant sit on a built bike i am scared to risk the cash so may play it safe and buy another Electra from my local bike shop as i know i can do 40 miles in comfort easily having already owned one.
