That's looking very nice.......and I love the mercian tandem!

I still think burgundy.......ed had a link to some in his 650b thread, I think.

Serious question, why newbaums? Is velox not up to it?

if i can find burgundy i will go for that...... i find newbaums thicker and softer than velox.... i only use cloth tape. have it on every single bike. the stuff they sell at condor is too thin, may as well put nothing on the bars.

i would go for burgundy velox if anyone knows a place in london?

couple of pictures in daylight.
got my dynamo working last night. still cant figure out why the mount for the light and dynamo are on opposite sides.....

few of my bikes with red handlebars. i also have a thing for north road bars:

love the frame ,were did you get all the skulls from,i used to collect all goth skulls etc,but gave them all away,yours look mint,post more photos up of the frame,lookin mint dude

Thanks, my skulls have been collected or given to me over many years. i have a great interest in nature, zoological studies, natural history and anthropology. i'm also an artist and used to use them to draw from. Many an hour spent drawing my skulls. They have worked their way into my life, don't think i could part with them. i like to think they they have a happy home.

started the build. really bad picture sorry. mudguards are playing silly buggers. sure i will figure them out in time.

had a set of bars from an old build with some red tape left on it........... i would say red it is. cheapest place to get Newbaums in london?

The lugs on that are a thing of beauty. looking forward to seeing this built.

Fantastic, really love this. What a great pile of stuff to have, I need to build myself something like this!
Going for any crazy bar tape? A light red could look nice, or keeping it contemporary?

i had some black newbaum's bar tape on mail order from ebay, but id didn't arrive.....then i started thinking red would be a better colour, black bars and black frame could be too oppressive, but i have red on almost all my bars....

magnificent piles! ha ha................

i really want to see this cave stedlocks!

Just back from the tweed run practice ride..... soaked to the bone.... nice bunch of people, smiles all round.

picked these up from Tom today. Another great guy. will start the build as soon as i have dried out and defrosted.

Stedlocks, you are a star and a gent. Thank you.

Picking up a couple more things today...... Should be able to start tonight.

^^^ i really hope stedlocks cave looks like that.

thanks sniffy. will spray it black. not sure it will go on the build as yet, though a rack to carry a jacket or bag would be very handy.

i really like the idea of the zink, think it would look amazing, but not sure about the white triangle..... will it need that?

looking good. .....

Is this london?^^

Love the Bob.... Now that's a rat.

A front/two brakes would make sense on a ss bike....

An interesting read on front brake flying.

And it would be nice to see some clear pictures. Looks like a nice city bike......but its hard to tell with the filters on....

I think I have a NOS one in the cave.....I can't check till tomorrow though. My security measures are a cunt to bypass, even for me!

I want to see this cave..........

50.4 sounds about right......56t, that could work.....sending you both a pm. Thanks guys.....edit: i think 56t will be too big.

WANTED!!!! WANTED!!!! WANTED!!!!!!

TA chain ring 50.4 BCD. any size, but 50t or larger would be ideal.

need this asap. can anyone help a chap out???

HELP! HELP! HELP!!!!!

hello, i'm after a TA chain ring for my tweed run bike. type for the old style cranks.
like in the picture. 50T or larger please....need this asap. can anyone help a chap out???

Boooom!

parts bin rummage have give me up these goodies.

picked up this 50's front bag rack at a bike jumble. it had a rubber base that was perished and not original so removed it. considering using it.....

i would suggest Mario Vaz if you wan to keep it in London. i would say powder coat can look gloopy and you may loose the nice details of the frame. Mario can also provide you with the mercian decals......and his price is about the same if not cheaper......

interested in seeing the Steve Goff work also..... started saving my pennies....... will be a few more months before i get my frame off to him.
