Brettoll Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Over the last year I have been acquiring parts to build a 24" street bike, been a while coming, been so broke I nearly caved and sold the parts.. but persevered. The frame started life in black, badly painted Mark 1 WIP 24" with the same geo as a Fourplay Mk II, the forks a friend had made by JAF and were used for about 2 rides.. stripped, sanded and lacquered the frame finally last night and put in the forks, stem bars, cranks and a shoddy old pivotal that was knocking about to see what it was starting to look like... and the result is pretty good! Should be finished in the coming weeks, provided I can get the hubs and bash sorted.. but for now here it is in it's current state: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brettoll Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) I know, it's not mine.. every time I go over seems to be more and more parts in there and now his project VW Polo. It's such chaos it drives me nuts! Edited February 29, 2016 by Brettoll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 You could probably get some good money for that stem on eBay. Change it for a cheaper one freeing up some cash for other bits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with the bars as they are the white Arcade bars (personally I want black) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brettoll Posted October 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 I am nearly there, just a little bit of tinkering with the brakes, putting the Nukeproof pedals on and getting a bash ring (still) and she will be ready to go.

Organised chaos at best. The upgrade does look a bit fresher/brighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
