will do as soon as i get all the bits together...
i sold a very trick and nice bmx in parts on ebay ( with enough Ti to start your own aerospace program) which has paid for 75% of this build ( this one still comes in as $1000 cheaper than the bmx)
and i have been lucky/patient on ebay and got what i wanted for what i wanted to pay!!
the phil woods cost me $250 US which is $250 cheaper than you could get em any where in australia and i think the sugino mighty's cost me around $50 US...
can't wait to get it rolling

personally would have put on some less expensive components at first and went for a nicer frame istead of the "worst of the bunch" pake.
i guess you could always move the parts over to a nicer frame, but who wants to put used parts on a nice frame?

got my msk unique royals today and my new stem!!! as you can see the royals are polishing up pretty nice
just have to find some clips and straps for em!!
as for the stem... the Ti hard ware i have lying around fits quite nicely but bens cycles in milwaukee ( quite a long way from me in sydney ) sent me a stem with the wrong face plate.!! they sent me a 26mm one which will not hold my nitto flat bar with out shimming and i don't wana get my shim on!
so at least the face plate has to travel half way round the world and they gota send me a new one!
same thing with the pauls lever i got thats in the post back to the USA cause i needed a 22.3mm clamp and they were outa stock so i got a 23.8mm ... hmmm more waiting!
the lever i can live with out the stem is another matter!
ohh well when things gota be just right you gota wait sometimes

Wow, that came out nice. I would put a silver Nitto seatpost on it and call it a day. You should also look around for a nice old road frame with horizontal dropouts. Those parts would make for a very nice conversion.

the saddle is pretty sweet just doesn't like my fav black jeans so much
The bars are 500 mm wide and feel pretty good, I'm to old for super narrow bars!
