Ian has a new bike
It's actually cobbled together from components I took off another bike and a frame, fork and other bits I got off Ebay. The stand over height is ridiculous, I didn't realise how small the frame is until bits started going onto it. I need to replace the pedals and get my nerve up and then I can go play.
The bike was built for me by GBH bikes on Whittle street, Manchester (just off Tib Street), M4 1LT. If you're on Facebook you can join their group. I videoed the build and will be producing a few short clips about it.

Specialbike
Specialbike take "ex-loved" frames, strip them, sandblast them and then give them a powder coat paint job and new components. Lovely, totally individual bikes are the result.Technorati tag: Cycling
