Today I bought, or it got delivered, or I fitted...
Midschoolfool:
Made sure to contact FBM for a response before ordering these.
They said whatever you can still order from the site they have and will ship.

I had time to kill today so I swapped out the Oury grips on my Blue Max. She now has A'me rounds. I sorted a clicking pedal too. :slayer:
Midschoolfool:
I've been looking at paint for the FBM. I've done all the brights now, going to go with something dark and more menacing. A very deep purple with red flake or something. Something that almost looks black, then the light hits.
Off on holiday in a couple of weeks. Can't wait. Already all packed and shit. I missed my last one due to Covid, (the one I had booked and paid for) and then didn't book another because of lockdown, so I have been staring at the same walls in two buildings for 2.5 years.
Will buy the paints when I get back.
Chilli Rinse:
10 of these arrived earlier in the week. All of my spinner pegs missing the locking nuts are now sorted. If anyone else needs to do the same it's a M12 x 1.5 pitch half nut.

Midschoolfool:
It seems its on :LolLolLolLol:
Just took the FBM frame up into the loft to get it out of the way and I may have had a dig and found every single part it needs to build it, sans some wheels. I saw a cheap set of Blank wheels on sale the other day for about 80 quid so I will get those at some point over the winter. It's all stuff that either didn't sell or were stand in parts for other builds until I could find period correct parts.
What pissed me off was I had this quite nice Firma lever. I took it off the Metal when I upgraded that to a SNAFU lever, a high end one. Could I find it for the Kink? could I Jeffrey. I spent several hours looking (autism !) and nothing.
Today I go up to dig for parts for the FBM and I find it almost straight away in a place I looked about ten times. I have this large cooler bag full of shit. Like grips I didn't use in all sorts of colours, seats, stems etc. Seems I needed to remove more from the bag before it became visible :rant:
Ah well. All's well that will end well. Because this will be the end of the parts at least. Which is good, 'cause if I ever need to get rid of it all fast I can just give a whole bike to a cousin's kid etc. Bit hard handing a ten year old a stem, chain and shit etc :LolLolLolLol:
Ordered them. 83 quid. Hermes owe me more than that.
