up the barn today working on the Pop when I decided to have a brew, sitting looking at all the piles of crap spares I have accumulated over the years and with the thoughts of a Reliant engined Bobbery thingy swirling through my mind I took the old Ural frame I have sitting there and introduced it to Mr Angry the grinder, take a pair of 30's girder forks, Francis Barnet tank and an old RD 250 front wheel and we have the start of something  this will sit and wait for the Pop to be finished but I will gather parts for it as and when they turn up. I hope to have a low, stumpy rigid bike with a classic look when its finished. |

Yes I would use it on the front of my heap. If you can't find a wheel down your end, try Nidgey Batfink. He is up in the wilds of Yorkshire though. nidgeybatfink@hotmail.com |

I'd go for a rigid. Would be easier to build, and look the the part as well.
