Hey guys well i thought id share some pics of what ive been upto with my bike it went from being a 10 year old claud butler to being an upgraded claud butler, and now ive got shot of the frame for somthing nicer,

so heres a few pics

this was after a few of the upgrades such as quad hydro brakes


now it looks like this




what do you think?

its been my first project bike as it were and its been fun building my own one rather than just buying one in (alot more expensive aswell) but its been fun and i love riding it as its now mine.

granted i know its now not even the same bike as it once was but it was pretty cool to customise...

What is it? Not seen one of those before?
SO new brakes/forks/frame sounds like one of my new bikes?

Looks nice. What's with the bar ends?

Lol its called olpran its a czech frame ive never heard of but for 40 quid off of ebay i couldnt moan its 7005 double butted aluminium. and yeah pretty much a new bike rather than an old bike, new everything but it all went onto an old frame and then once i got it to where i liked it got the new frame.

the bar ends are due to me having a nackered heart and i struggle to keep my breath when exercising it just gives me a wider arm spread and i can get more air into my lungs! although i have caught them on trees quite a few times so they may have to go. but they certainly help when im out of breathe!

That is a sound reason!

I've had this broom 14yrs......

Huh i dont get it?? :S lol

Yep, 3 forks, 2 new sets of wheels, 2 frames, 3 sets of brakes, 3 bottom brackets, 3 bars, 4 stems, 2 saddles, 10's of tyres.

Still the same broom though.

Is that a prince albert phinw?

Yeah, it's the latest addition to triggers broom (I've only had it 2 weeks) It was an on one inbred before. I'd always fancied one and since the new 853 one's came out I think people are selling on the older ones (this is a 520). This one looked like the guy had never written it, it doesn't even have any cable rub - it won't stay like that for long I'm sure

Nice mate!

I'm having a Pipedream Sirius custom finished at the factory right now..

Can't wait to get it!

Nice, lovely frames too!
