your tips were very useful. i think i got it! kind of...

good to meet you tonight!

Alright man? Coming to the NE polo tonight? I'm going to give it another crack.

Hello,

fine work, it looks lovely!

it's been quite good fun, the wheel building is really good fun. I figured i'd practice building the front wheel before trying the back one, which I guess is going to have to take a whole load more stress.

I too haven't been taking photo's but I'm going to try with the wheel building bit. We learnt a fair few "secret" tips from the experts last night, to make things work much quicker.

The only problem is that this whole bicycle building palava is getting a bit addictive. My original plan was to build a non-thief friendly pub bike, now I've got a couple of projects on the go and still no pub bike, oops.

take care and keep in touch

Hello Bristly - not sure if you remember me from the U75 forum, but we were both converting bikes to fixed at the same time and talked about putting up a 'how to bodge a conversion' thread...

Anyway, yours is looking good - envious about the home made wheels. Finished mine a couple of months ago (well in its present incarnation) sadly forgot to document the build of it all.
