    1st go at steampunk

    Not totally sure on that yet Luke but might just bolt it in straight through the frame or possibly try using a stem wedge and bolt. Gotta think how would Jules Verne have done it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    1st go at steampunk

    A couple of taster shots, frame mock up with the tapered rigid forks, ballooners, clean up of backets and shortened seat tube. And this is gonna be on it somewhere but you'll have to either guess or wait n see Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    1st go at steampunk

    Well, after an aborted entry into BBO9 with indecision, I have a collection of nice bits such as bars, stem, 1960s Brooks saddle etc. I've sold off the frame, forks and wheels from Indecision. So what is a man to do, I know, I'll Steampunk the French m*untain bike! So here's the starting point...

    Show me your Military theme bikes

    My daughters freshly finished mighty 8th bike. She's not seen it yet as I'm handing it over at the 95th BG museum at the old airfield at Horham in Suffolk. Hope she likes it! For anyone interested, the 390th BG on the frame is Sophie's favorite group and we're based at Horham before the 95th...

    The Indecision

    Looks like I'm not going to get Indecision finished any time soon. I have just finished my daughters 8th AAF bike and will be at her USAAF museum Americana show to present it to her this coming weekend. Work and home commitments are then taking the next two as well. Good luck to all and I...

    1945 Elgin

    Doesn't matter how many times I look at the before and after, I still can't get my brain to accept this is the same bike and that hub is a work of art all on its own. Why don't modern manufacturers make stuff like that any more? Awesome! :praise:

    Ouch, better tin than skin though.
