Done

What you havin' for tea?

Gammon, Egg Chips and Peas

Don't eat the peas one at a time.

Peas 😆

I had a load of boxes like that the other week, came from CRC though, all I had was a new chain, a couple hose olives and a bobble hat. Didnt manage to make anything out óf that I could ride.....

Good luck and get a move on.

^^^^ classic^^^^

Proper lol.

Stuff still in bags!!!

They're the first thing discarded, along with the bolts and screws found in the small bags within bags..
Then que frustration at not being able to get the seat pin bolt cos you've just bunged all the bags in the bin.

Not nice rummaging around bins is it.

Started

Cool, that's the evening entrainment sorted 🙂 Update please!

Your garage could do with a tidy.

^^^ But build the bike first^^^^

That seat tube looks bent - I'd box it up & send it back.. 😛

(oh, & Joat, tagine).

Clearly going to be some tangled gear'idge going on.

" is disappointed, thought it would be a SS"

Is that a BB30, ohhh no it isn't.....

"Thinks about leaving the thread"

"Comes back cos I'm in on my own and have no friends to play with"

Can we sort out a live feed?

Yep it is a mess in here 🙂

Who is taking the photos?!

Ooooohhh look at the posh wheel covers .....

What music you have on and what beers?

and snacks...

Someone needs to sort out a build race - Live!

Where is everyone watching from and why are you not getting drunk.

Me.. Norway and Work (ish)

Messy cluttered up garage and R2D2 in there as well, good work....

I'm watching this from my living room and not getting drunk due to the big road ride I have planned tomorrow.

Bb shell face fail

if this was me, the bike would be needed for a trip to Morzine tomorrow and I'd need to be up at 6am and I wouldn't finish the bike until 2 in the morning.

Hope you've put some anti seize on those cups. 😈

Might have a tinker with the Roadrat this evening, I've been building it for about 2 weeks

sat on sofa, cat on lap, planning world domination

You're not getting on with it very quickly are you

So it's taking longer doing pics than building 🙂

Didn't have the right crown race tool

Right,,well I'm in at home, sofa bound all evening with a gin&tonic and a family pack of m&m's (peanut) MrsBouy is in Harrogate playing with chainsaws again so I'm feeling partially happy and partially erm... Happy.

I'm not keen on green bikes BTW.

Still, you choice, if you must, but I.......

Blimey, filing off the top of the steerer tube, a pro indeed 🙂

Self amalgamating tape on the stay

Fail. Thats it, Im off. I am disappoint.

Eh?.... Proper crown race tool?...is that a piece of waste pipe?

Thanks for the pics and letting us take the piss whilst you worked so hard on your build.

Good Friday evenings entertainment.

Muchos Grazias

I have now fitted and set up the front brake, and done one side of bar tape. It's all go here!

Yes indeed, good stuff, thanks. Completed build pics soon hopefully.

That's me done, after the missing parts for the 15mm front wheel then I've gone as far as its worth doing.

Left to do, sort the front wheel out, sort out saddle, shorten front hose and test ride.

Not sure if I need any kind of chain guide.

Decided to add a chain guide

Not built this light, as some components are clearly not the lightest available

Ready to go hose needs a trim but that can wait

[IMG] [/IMG]

That's it all done, next thing is to ride it 🙂

😀

Thanks Forge, must have been a pain doing the photos.

No not to bad doing photos and mrsforge helped, off now for my first ever 29er ride 🙂

Nice bike and a super cabaret too!

Have you gone for an XT or Zee clutch mech?

Hope to ride with you soon.

Swinley was mostly OK yesterday and is drying out nicely for next week. Some logging has eliminated/shut some bits near the Labyrinth.
