After bemoaning the fact that we don't have many canti frames across here. I couldn't pass up the opportunity of buying one on ebay when it came up for auction. :mrgreen:
What i got in the post was this
No, no... not the lovely pink one at the back. The cream and blue frame in front. The rear wheel was bend in two planes but the front one is still useable. All the spokes were rusty and had to be cut through. But hey this is meant to be a learning experience right? So I'm going to learn how to lace wheels on this build too.
The inspiration? well having seen a few Cola branded cruisers out there, I thought I'd spin this bike with a Scottish flavor.
Scotland's very own fizzy caffeinated hangover cure in a can.
Oh and did I mention it's a 24" frame? I thought I was buying a 26" bike and was a bit surprised when I pulled it out of the box. So this could well be the world's first Scottish fizzy drink branded muscle bike. :lol:
