Hi Eddie, I couldn't find the photos, plus their search facility is down at the moment. Please can you email me the pics to t.worsley'at' rl.ac.uk (Swop the 'at' for an '@'). Alternatively - post them on my UK Gravity Photosite : groups.msn.com/ukgravityphotoarchiveYou'll find a few photos of other UK G-Bikes in there too! Ride hard, stay safe. Tom W.

Hey Eddie, That's a bad bike!
Did you do the fab. work yourself? Let us know how it handles!
What have you got planned for the paint job?
Thanks for posting pics to the photo site, I'm always looking for new material.
Do you have any shots of the frame being made? I really like "work in progress" shots, they really throw a project into context if you can see how & where a build comes together.
Ride hard, stay safe.
Tom W.

it handles like a dream, ive had it up to 65-70 mph and it was steady as a rock. the kneelers are far apart cuz i steer it w/ my knees so that i dont have to leave my tuck. the kneelers act like a lever so all i have to do is shift my hips and lift one knee a lil bit and the bike will turn. i want to powder coat the bike yellow, but it will have to wait till i have money for it. it was designed by me and its builder, and he did the fab work on it. i dont weld do i just helped with what i could. i got a really good deal on a used sea-doo (personal watercraft) trailer and with just a few mods my bike will have its own trailer. i am slowly but surely getting ready for 2005's race season. the other frame is a bmx, but im trying to make it pretty. ive painted the frame, forks, hardware, etc.... all to match the blue and black color scheme. itll have v-brakes (via adaptors) front and back, rear wheel covers, chrome rear wheel (for better braking) and a custom seat that i made. the seat and its mounting will be free of the rear axl. ill post pics of it at the archive when its done. im finishing the last coats of polyeurethane on the frame next week, and the rest of the parts i ordered should be in by then so hopeufully i will have pics by the 1st of the year.
