Well new to me, anyway.

Pretty much all of it bar the tyres came from the STW classifieds.

few bits to tidy up but for a £100 frame it's turned out quite nice 🙂

[i]Top tube's bent.[/i]

the down tube's gone a bit funny too.

There was a hole worn in the NDS chain stay where a dropout had slipped. I had to have a gusset/plate/patch welded over it.

It's Autumn, the garden's supposed to look like that isn't it?

Repair was charged at an hours work which seemed fair.

I remember seeing that and wondering what sort of money it would take to fix, good work mate 😉

Customer Service at Enigma seems to be great. They machined me an out of stock mech hanger (£11.99) and it arrived the very next day.

WWW, I have a leaf blower/sucker/shredder for sale 😉

P.S. Lovely looking bike.
