Damo, you can't say "Welcome to the coc club, where do you ride?" People will start to get the wrong idea.  |

Nice build.
Best take that bottle cage off before the fashion police turn up.
Do you do all your own sewing then?

What's happened to the 456 then?
Not tempted to build it up again and run two complimentary bikes?

Needs a new headset and theres a dent in the downtube, Some scratches and rub marks also. Apparently picking a rock garden to the side of the trail isnt the best route to get down a hill  Probally will sell it on |
