What's a man to do ? Sudden Progress.....

Well, I began the cutting and fitting for the swing bike I want to build this week.....
Ended up with a pile of old frames, mostly bought at £5 each from the local kids who usually want to wash my car for smoke money.....



Cut headstock from one, have split the frame it has to go into, but then had to get onto other stuff, so need to make bits match up, weld, grind, weld, grind etc..... find some wheels to add, and then spray, whatever colour, and refit.... ride.




Today we went to my mates place in Tilbury , Essex to meet up for a ride to the Ace, and his neighbours collect steel to sell to the merchants, on the back of the truck was a Shopper and an old ladies racer, so I bought them from the guy for £15, which may be about 4 times what they are worth as scrap, but, knowing how one cannot move anything from the council skips these days, I bit the bullet and paid my blood money.

Now I can start creating a Mixte for Nicola's son, and do up the shopper as part of the Sinclair bus' equipment.

Bikes as found....... All wheels knackered.
