Adrian J Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) Built up my new frame last week and am totally stoked with how its turned out!. I couldn't wait for it to arrive but fortunately unlike many bespoke steel frame companies the turn around from sending geo and ideas to the guys at wip bikes to the frame coming to my door was 11 days! Geo, materials (reynolds 531), angles and colour is exactly as i wanted and got a chance to ride the bike today and love the feel of it! nice and stiff and light too!. I've put a couple of riding photos in the riding section too. Hope you guys like all comments welcome! 1040wb +20bb 375 stays when slammed 73head angle pics Edited December 18, 2011 by Adrian J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_travis Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 £400.....???? Jeez!! That a bit hefty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 11 days?! Jesus, took me around 4 months to get a usable one... Looks pretty tidy, but I definitely wouldn't recommend anyone pays full whack for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian J Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 yea was really happy with the turn around times , its a fair bit of money but leesons were £399 back in the dayyy (same materials ect) and fancied somthing different . I've gotta say they really have done a quality job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Same material, decent service Congrats on the new build and being the first satisfied customer though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Tidy frame lines, sweet finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I have a feeling I forgot to reply to you before, but that bike looks sweet Any chance of some close-ups of the dropouts and stuff like that? Be interesting to see what they're like these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 From what I can make out, newer models appear to have ROUND 360 dropouts. Novel concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Well, if you're going to bash things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Trudat. To be fair, if the dropout hadn't collapsed the downtube would have fallen off or the headtube imploded or something, it's probably for the best... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 It'll be interesting to see how long it lasts. I'll place my bet on 3 months tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Agreed on the dropouts, more pics Adrian Was yours supplied with inserts for the 360 Drops a la lessons? Luke's wasn't and pretty unsurprisingly went flat in about 32 seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
