Very small but (to me) important update. Finally got round to fitting an actual singlespeed rear cog. Solid and mirrored so really goes well with polished alloy spacers. Also realised I'd been running slightly wrong chainline for years but old setup didn't really show it. So, after a bit of...

Ebay.

It'll be ebay or local gumtree then. What bike is it?

What a beautiful looking bike :):)

Is it your knees? It’s usually my knees.

That looks the bollocks. Love the clean lines where seatstays join at the top.

Oddly, I have a set that look like this, MC70 stamped on them, but not original blocks.

I ended up with it by accident. Bloke at work was getting rid and needed a car for my partner while we looked for something else for her. I took it in to run until mot then scrap but once i saw arches, sills and underneath i fell in love with it. It’s tiny in traffic, feels like i’m sat in a...

That looks like the frame Craig from 2ndlifebikes did a build from a while back. Had a mare getting a stuck seatpost out iirc.

Not sure how I only just found this thread but that is lovely.

Loving the wood aided design tools :D

That looks stunning. Proper piece of nostalgia there.

That looks bang on. Really makes me re-evaluate my front forks :D

OK first time entrant, if this isn't eligible please feel free to remove... Y282's 89/90-ish raw steel GT to BMX cruiser conversion... LINK

That’s the one, white front and green back end. Paint scheme was a blatant ripoff of the Specialized range 😁

Worked on some of the early ones in the late 80s in Halfords. they were ok to work on and were clearly trying to make a name for themselves but no one really wanted them to start with. The one we all REALLY dreaded working on/building was the Apollo Blizzard :D:D
