Default Northwinds Bike

Reading about the latest addition to Northwinds bike I for one would like to hear about all the work thats been done and how far from standard it is. I am sure this would be of interest to others, (or maybe it wont, comments welcome). So get your thinking cap on Northy and try to remember what you have done to your bike and your opinion on the merits of the mods you have done.
Should make interesting reading.....

Nobody has that much time

If I could build a website, I'd have done a sort of mod blog on there... But then, I never planned for it to get this out of hand so maybe not. It was a bad sign that I bought a slip-on before I'd even had the bike delivered though I'll see what I can do though. It'd be good to give credit where it's due as well, actually, so that's another thing I should think about- I try to do this as I go usually.

I'll maybe do it tomorrow while I'm at work

Now that you can do it, when can we start bringing our tyres to you for fitting then Northy?

And if we're paying with beer does it have to be a big label or will supermarket own brand do? Hey, I'm on a budget...

Not just yet I need a bit more practice, I've only done it properly twice and both times were a bit hairy... But once I get it down smooth it won't be a problem. Bit too much hance that I destroy your tyre or just can't get it on just now
