The bike looks great, it's coming along nicely.

My colleagues in London tell me there's flooding everywhere, I hope you and yours stay safe and dry.


Cheers mate,

Great to see a rolling chasis again!!!

It's getting there. Hopefully get the truss rods done and then I can get the handle bars on soon.

Nice rolling chassis!
You must have the patience of a saint to do that detailed paint work.
Can't wait to see it go together

Thank you. Yeah it takes a while to do the paint. Keeps me busy though and worth it in the end. It dry outside at the moment, so i'm going to get a few more coats on the truss rods.

Cheers man!

It's been dry today! So I got outside and did some more painting on the truss rods.They are nearly done and ready for staining. They are being painted the same colour as the frame and forks.

I managed to find a nice set of Torrington Pedals, which I believe were taken from a 1930's - 1940's Colson Packard 26" Lady's bicycle.They arrived today, so I couldn't wait to get them on to see what they looked like!

Real nice

Oh yeah, I forgot about the headbadge.

Well, I am going to pass the name idea on to fordsnake and his MOFO build. It could be MO FAUX.
