I met this guy and he was in to old twin shock crossers, he had a thing for KX250's. He had an old frame lying around. So i got some oil and grim on my soft smooth office boy hands and went and spoke to him. I was like "yeah I build bikes", then managed to convince him i knew what i was doing and he gave me a frame, forks and an old tank, as i drove away he probably thought I was such a wanker; but hey, i got my first bits of bike. As i lived in a flat still my new frame lived on the balcony for a few months whilst we moved in to a house, my first garden but more importantly my first shed. Oh its a lovely place. it would be perfect if the boss hadn't made me have the tumble dryer in there!
So, i got a frame and then brought a hard tail kit from eBay, and that needed assembling. I got a guy called Adrian to weld the bits together, He knows nothing of bikes so i was like "Yeah i build bikes". again Adrian was probably not impressed. I paid him then found out his name was not Adrian at all, I'm such a knob.
you'll be glad of that tumble dryer in a couple of weeks time - I was out welding on mine at Christmas at -12 degrees c - it was still fun, but a sadistic fun!
