Got these pursuit bars today look pretty sweet. Just need a quill and I can start wrapping them when my tape arrives!

Speaking if tape I ordered some fizik soft touch bar take in black to put on my nitto bullhorn bars lol I know you might be dying inside at that purchase but I want to try it :-)

At the end of the day the looks aint the most important thing.... Most important thing is that I enjoy my first ever fixed geard bike lol

Thanks for the parts list Gaz. Not sure as to how old school I want it to look now as iv already got a oldish looking raleigh. Finished emailing the guys at swinnerton bikes and its a late 70's 531 frame so il be ordering the decals soon

Right decided on getting it painted dark purple with white decals. I know it's not the original but i think it would look quite cool. Should be going to be painted and lacquered on Friday then I can put the head set in and order the bb and crank for this month.

I would have had this if I didn't get my bike back after it was stolen from Leicester college lol good price though

Ahh thanks for the advise guys il see where I can get them and prices.

Well just rising around town and rides every Wednesday with other guys. And when I go down south to see family in Bournemouth might take it on the velodrome :-)

How good would people say Andel cranks are then :-)

Cheers it took a lot of swearing and effort to strip it lol but yea maybe your right. I think I will choose what cranks when iv painted the frame because I think black cranks would look mank with a white frame. But I was thinking about doin it all black with white decals or a really dark purple almost like a Cadburys purple.

Raw frame

Finally finnished stripping the frame! Just a few more bits to get and then it's off the be sprayed :-) just some pics of the pretty lugs and the campagnolo drop outs

Hi guys selling a Campagnolo Veloce, Mirage or Avanti not sure what it is as it doesn't say. runs smooth and fine, Comes with park tool bb remover. Would like £25 posted.

Well it's still early days yet so who knows what parts I'm getting for sure, I'm getting the frame painted this month though that's why I'm trying to sort out a colour scheme.

Cheers mate just trying it out :-) and keeping my skills up to date lol, might go got the red and white just depends how much it will cost to get painted :-) if its to expencive for me il go for a solid colour but don't know what :-) but maybe your right, the lugs are nice looking so they should be shown off :-)

right so as far as the decals are concerned i was thinking about the original decals and here is what iv got so far in Illustrator. I will probs just buy the head badge off the swinnerton web site though lol but i though id had ago since im doing some work from home anyway.
let me know if you have any idea for decal ideas or frame colours peeps

Just found out that Roy Swinnerton died on the 3rd of this month.
