TROYston Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 looks good! but where's Elvis? Everything else on this bike needs to be black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Actually looks a lot nicer, hurry up and finish it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burglarboycie Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 looks good! but where's Elvis? Everything else on this bike needs to be black Haha. I thought id better leave him inside because of the fumes from the caustic soda. Do you reckon? I was going to go with silver echo headset and brake clamps. Got a trialtech sl stem on the way too. I could be tempted to go for black though i guess. I would love to be able to finish it sooner but funds wont really allow at the moment ( Thanks for the input and comments guys James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Fair enough Silver frame, forks, stem, cranks, wheels and black everything else = winner Maybe black rims too, can raw them if you don't like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boom, that would be sexual! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burglarboycie Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Right, its been ages now so just a minor note on the build. Bought front brake this evening, got a good deal so im happy. Major update coming over the weekend though. Along with a topic title change as its no longer a speedrace that im building!!!! New (second hand) frame should come tomorrow.

Burglarboycie Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 So my new frame got collected earlier this morning!! Got a 2008 Echo Pure. Will be putting pics of it up later as im off work today to work on it. Expecting the arrival of my Trialtech SL stem later too. I will be asking for some advice etc too so any help greatly appreciated. Update soon . . . . James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
