Been through many times. My folks had a static caravan at Bacton years ago. Used to go to Sheringham and Cromer a lot weekends when I was growing up as folks had a tourer. Hopefully see your build in the flesh some time.

Hi bit more done in the new workshop 🙂 ,today at work I grabbed a offcut of stainless sheet cut and folded up at nice top to go on top of my cupboard! That's now my parts washer station 😁 any spilage will wipe down nicely !! Sorted my nuts n bolts,I'm a little obsessed with collecting them 🤣 working in engineering there very accessible to me 🙈,but I feel you can never have too many !! Thinking of getting a bike lift bench always wanted one ,what's you guys thoughts on them ? Thanks ☺️ IMG_20200826_165831 by Chris, on Flickr IMG_20200826_194125 by Chris, on Flickr IMG_20200826_200649 by Chris, on Flickr

I think you are a shoo in for The Turner Prize.
This thing is pure ART.

I wish I had the bottle to modify my latest LC hybrid frame as you have for adjustable suspension.
It would save me around £550 for a bespoke Nitron. Second option is get the one I have extended 15mm for £200, but then I wouldn’t have it for the other hybrid?
It’s not like I’m shy of cutting it about either, just never done the suspension that way.

Jon hi Jon I'm looking into a yss rear shock for this just holding off at the moment until I can afford one ! But the adjustment is handy ,I play between 2 settings ,where it is a the moment is where it works best ,you building one at the moment Jon?

It’s not like I’m shy of cutting it about either, just never done the suspension that way. Jon I modified a swingarm to raise the height. I cut the shock mount off and added material. Was easy to do and wouldn't take much to make an adjustable version. Swingers can sometimes be picked up cheap enough to make it worthwhile having a play.😁

Hi everyone , next on my list was the coil bracket I've got twin Banshee coils so been looking at ways to fix them and I've kept it simple so made a plate up, that bolts to the original coil bracket on the frame ,made 4 x bosses up drilled n tapped M6, welded them on the plate so the coils can bolt to it works really well hope it will earth ok ,next on the list swing arm bracing 😋😊 IMG_20200910_203252 by Chris, on Flickr IMG_20200910_203303 by Chris, on Flickr IMG_20200910_203624 by Chris, on Flickr IMG_20200910_204028 by Chris, on Flickr IMG_20200910_204036 by Chris, on Flickr IMG_20200910_204053 (1) by Chris, on Flickr IMG-20200910-WA0016 by Chris, on Flickr
