Current Project: '78 Dave Russell

Just need to find a cool seat, stem and pedals to finish the build. Any suggestions?

If I keep the bike it'll be repainted. Haven't seen many seatstays or lugs like that.

Yeah, had a green one but it was a bit too big

that's the first thing i thought when i saw it as well, i'm not sure if i'm going to get it resprayed or not. i don't want to end up with a massively thick paint job adding 200g to it.

they have one on sale in Bicycle Magic in Whitechapel, it has a small ding in the frame somewhere.

It's been on sale for AAAAAGES, long enough that I bet if you made them a cheaper offer they'd take it.

Thanks for the heads up, but I have just bought a new frame and I don't think my credit card can take much more abuse.
