Slowest build ever?
 

Dear All,

I started this bike build in 2009 believe it or not! Since we decided to also take a short de(tour) through life around the same time it never got finished...

However, the frame just arrived this morning! Hope you like it! I guess the build will go rather quickly from now on...

cheers,

Jim

What's the back-story?

When you say the frame has just arrived, do you mean you've had it in storage, or did you start the build with the components?

You can never start too early building your own bike. Do you mean you started selecting the parts in 2009 or actually buying the first parts?

Enjoy the build!

The good thing about a LHT is they don't go out of style...;)

Jim246, I have one '89 bike that's been through four major builds and one minor rebuild, the touring bike has had a minor rebuild. You may have been a slow starter, but the build goes on forever. ;)

I mean that the project (and the component buying) started in 2009. We then moved country, things got put on top of the wardrobe etc... I finally found enough time (not to mention enough money...) to finish things before this summer. The frame is a 2012 LHT in the new dark green colour.
