If I do another (I probably will.... although have this chopper thing niggling away) I will start with maybe a T3
Surely that's a 'Tonti' frame? if so it is basically like a T3/Le Mans etc. it certainly looks like the frame on my Le Mans.

Granted the forks and steerer tube are longer but I would imagine that wouldn't be too hard to alter or, just use clip-ons to lower the bars.

Interesting build though but I have to ask, where do you find these £500 base bikes?
