It's all wood construction - no brickwork at all. It sits on a grid of 12 concrete 'piers'. The walls are, from the inside --> out, Plasterboard, OSB, cellotex insulation (75mm), ply, breather membrane, battens (with air gap), cladding.

It's officially under 2500mm tall (ahem.....) so no planning permission was required. As long as no one measures the height too closely. (I originally designed it to be 2400mm but ended up raising the pitch of them roof last minute so I think it's around 2520mm now).

Happy to give you any more details if it helps.

Always exciting when an update on this thread is another instalment rather than one of us gaggle of sycophants, laying it on thick :-)

Think this was my favourite episode yet - I'll fetch my trowel.

Very much looking forward to this built up!

Drill it then pretend that the previous owner dun it. No one need ever know.

The lino isn't that cheap when you're getting through a lot of it. I wonder if there's some cheap alternative substance that's good for practising on?
I'll take a look at Linocut Boy.

I really need to get my DIY screen printing rig set up again. It's been way too long!

Brilliant - love the halftone fills. I had an SE/30 when i was a nipper - did quite a bit of doodling on macpaint when i wasn't playing Civilisation.

Gotcha, cheers! I was always glad the avid single digit I had upfront was so good, as the u at the back did about as much slowing as sneezing forwards would have.

Indeed - was it V/canti mounts on certain models then? I had a Timberline with U on the rear, but I guess better models had cantis front and back or something?

Killer.
I thought the rear brake bosses were for U-brakes on those, how d'you fit a V on it?

Nice. How long does a linocut take you generally? I've only tried it a few times but found it very satisfying. Especially after i found out about that lino that's softer than normal and far less hard work to cut. I tried a 2-colour lino cut once, which I really liked the look of. I have a friend who does lino and wood cuts - he tends to do 3-4 colour reductive cuts, which I don't think i'd have the balls to do!

Can't say I peeped a single soul in tiny Erica, which leads me to draw conclusions that my Hope Pro 4 rear hub has finally managed to trick a whole God fearing town into believing a swarm of locusts approached with the promise of insect judgement.

Chortle!

@Spencil

I did suggest that. The frame is supposedly SLX, although I suspect SP based on the frame size. Either way, I think he's got a seatpost sorted now.

For various boring reasons, I ended up shunning the nanos and going with contis, which I suspect are the lesser tyre of the two. Oh well.

Very much looking forward to getting this mother dirty. May even take the child seat bracket off...
(Sorry shit photo is shit sorry)

I'm the fork looks like bad photoshopping!

There a bit of Sergio Leone going on there, too. Rattlesnake sound effect. Morricone whistling-based theme in background.

Here's the last thing i dun for this

Photoshop + Cintiq

I love the upside-down Scott top tube.
(if it was even originally a top tube!)

That Gong LP is great

From the comments on the Facebook listing, it seems like a few people have enquired and not got much further, actually! Good luck with your search.

How's this?

(not mine, just remembered seeing it recently)

No one could accuse me of being a car appreciator - I have one of these:

Yes, I guess you're right. My comment was more of a general, uniformed lament of the current state of affairs, with no real wider picture in mind :-)

Driving as some sort of a human right, does seem to override consequences of misuse in a way that seems strange when you compare it to similar things like that.

I was talking to a car-tuning friend recently about performance cars on the road. We actually ended up both agreeing that having ridiculously powerful and fast cars legal for use on shared roads is nuts when you think about it. But it's normal so there they are.

Introduce a tax for not wearing a helmet/RLJing/taking up the whole bloody lane?
