Built magazine

Does anyone get Built magazine?

It'd be interesting to see what this Monster is like...



Although I'm sure I can see some exhaust wrap in that picture, which I've never been keen on.

exhaust wrap. no front mudguard. Doesn't bode well, probably has a brown leather seat and other such hideousness!

But it looks like he can ride home in the dark! Chinese resevoirs too?

I've flicked through the magazine in W H Smiths a few times now as the bikes on the cover always take my eye, but I've never actually brought a copy.

I think as suggested above the whole Hipster vibe with it puts me off, but I do feel like I've missed out on some nice bikes and will probably buy a copy soon.
Might have to hide it in a copy of Viz to maintain my reputation though.

Actually, I think despite a completely irrational prejudice towards Hipsters I might actually be softening towards the whole thing.

It's not bad, the only other build mag work reading is BSH at least most projects actually involve fabrication.

Rizoma I think (although, of course, they could still be Chinese knock-offs!)

I thought they were these £6.27 inc shipping. What price are those Rizoma beauties?

Spot the difference! In this case, about £70 per reservoir!

Plus the screws fit in the countersunk holes on one, but not the other, and what looks like a shadow line under the lid looks like the Grand Canyon on t’other!

Magazine arrived. The Monster article was 5 1/2 pages of very large pics and maybe two hundred words which was mostly waffle about nothing imo. There are couple of vaguely interesting articles that you would read if you were waiting to have a filling or see a doctor about an itchy rash...

Now forsale: one careful reader, selling due to needing space (on coffee table) still under warrenty, standard condition serious offers invited over £4, no checques or PayPal.
