Thanks for the comments. Yes it's a rob roy frame which I got on fleabay. well pleased with the result, now I just have to get strong enough to do it justice.

Something that occured to me this week (for a project for next winter), is it possible to fit suspension forks to a frame like this?

Does it take 1 1/8" steerer? If so then technically, yes. A pair of 29er forks would fit such as Rockshox Rebas, but the longer axle to crown dimension would jack up the front of the bike and make it a bit slacker. With those you'd also need to change to a disc brake, but your drop bar levers will quite happily operate a cable disc.

Ah. just had a look around the site and it appears they're sold out. Sorry. Still, if you've got a wedge and a bit of patience, how about this:

i saw your bike got panned on lfgss... right bunch of snobby twats on there who obv have far too much money and spare time.

you cant put a suss fork on surely, it will mess with the geometry way too much????

Found it - definitely mixed reviews. I think I've had more comments on the dado rail than the bike

Nice bike Steve - doesnt it have any gears though?  :P

Dado rail =  8)

Maybe we should introduce the bike forum (where Steves machine featured) to the Land Rover forum? In the name of stirring things up making new friends?
