I have done. Lots of different schemes on there. It's not going to be a replica at this stage.

1999 Balfa BB7 2015

This is my rare entry, a first generation 1999 Balfa BB7. Very rare Canadian handmade frameset. I've contacted Jerome Roy on production numbers but still waiting a reply. Edit this is #13/52

Currently doing a restoration on a Nicolai Bass FR frame
Been told it's from around 2003/4 era and that it's pretty rare.
The frame was imported from Denmark and restoration has begun.
Needles to say I don't think there are to many of these knocking about the UK trails.https://www.pinkbike.com/u/gtruckus83/album/Nicolai-Bass-FR-restoration/

Wow man! NicolaI bikes are super rare because they were super expensive. Framesets could cost between 3 and 10 thousand dollars. The bass fr was 3600€ for the frameset only. (5000$)

Aggreed that it is rare I don't think they made more than 1000 there isn't many examples.

Looks to be a 2002 model assuming the rear shock is original. They stopped the bass in 2005

Well the Bass FR is finished now and put up for sale.
I've done a few restorations over the years, one of my favourites was a Dark cycles skareb. Got it re done with a Kawasaki green front end and gloss black rear. Road superbly.
Im about to start a new project in a Nicolai Helius FR.
Just got to decide on the colour scheme.
2004 Nicolai Bass FR
