Here's Johnny!!

Doesn't time fly when you're having fun!!

I can't believe how fast it's gone, despite which I haven't made enormous progress which is rather disappointing. 

Still in the last six months my eldest daughter has split up & got back together with her boyfriend several times, & she's started a new job. My youngest daughter has finished her exams & is now on holiday for the next three months until she starts sixth form. And my wife & I had our 25th wedding anniversary plus it was my birthday last weekend!

The project suffered from the dreaded lack of motivation, following the acquisition of a new 'perfect' frame of eBay which as you guessed wasn't. 
That pissed me off somewhat! but I've started to get back into it over the last few months. Using my new found welding skills!!! (ha!) I patched a hole in the frame & am now carrying out the mods to get me back to where I was all those months ago.

So watch this space, hopefully it won't be another six months before my next post!!

Hello again!

Well here I am, back again!

The project has been stalled somewhat due to the frame problems. Hopefully I may have resoved it. I've scored a frame off evailbay for a reasonable cost, & the seller says it's solid! so fingers crossed!

It's due here tomorrow (Tuesday) then maybe we can get the show back on the road, Yayyy!!

Seasons Greetings!!

 

 Bloody hell, it's nearly Christmas again! 

Hope you all have a good one!!

(maybe I can get a bit more done in the next year then!!)

Possible way forward!

Having received comments from some of the guys on the CX forum, who thought my frame could actually be saveable! I got back in touch with the guy that had the scrap frames & picked them up at the weekend FOC! I'm going to cut out the bad sections from my frame & weld in patches cut from good parts of the scrap frames (well I'll probably just tack them in place & get somebody that can weld to do it properly!!) So we'll see how that goes!

Cheers

No Go

Didn't even get to look at the frames! I called the guy to see what they were like & how much, he told me he'd had a closer look & they were both destined for the scrap yard! Bugger!!

Fingers crossed!

Going to look at a couple of frames this weekend, so here's hoping that they won't be as bad as mine!

Looks like goodnight nurse!!

I took the sharp bit of a claw hammer to the more dodgey looking parts on the frame earlier, with these results:

not good! So unless I can source a better frame then it looks like I'm fucked on this!

Anyone got a frame for sale!!

 
Cheers for now.
