And what a bargain!

just built the wheels, made a bloody good guess on spoke sizes as they were 4 cross originally (not interlaced?) used 188 on the front and 186 on the rear, the rims are far from perfect, front aint so bad but rear has a few flat spots/dings but its rideable, i aint going sick spending a fortune on this hence black spokes from shop stock. and ordered green foil for the rims, don't all shout sacrilige at once!!!! still needs some bars as the og bars are fooked. not bothered what really just an half decent set of 2 piece will do me as long as decent chrome plate and chromoly. plus the repolished stem is hiding in there, just need to do the pedals, seat  yak and the brakes, may use an old 901 i have knocking round as this will be a rider. check how rusty them old spokes were  :wtf: aint even thinking of restoring them hahaha may trade the lee chi calipers and one lever for some bars any takers? theres a blue tech 3 in there too. not sure tho i certainly am not going to run a front brake on it. may be a bit weird to ride too as the top tube is 2 1/2" shorter than my ns ride hahaha.

Macmania:
Great job.....looks sweet  :daumenhoch:

I'll have a closer look when I pop in for a couple of inner-tubes  :LolLolLolLol:

wirewheel:
