Today I bought, or it got delivered, or I fitted...

Don't like the white front wheel. I ordered it right off the back of ordering the rear, totally forgetting how much white I will be replacing with either orange or black. The red decals make it worse, and then of course the grey hub which would match nothing.
Thankfully that wheel only cost me ?28 delivered, and will make a lovely spare. Instead I got a Campagnolo Calima. 60 quid. It will be much lighter too, something I wasn't happy about. The white one weighs more than the HED with all of the hardware on the HED. Which is kinda mad.

Hopefully the final piece of the puzzle. So pedals.
This bike is proper weird. It came with these tiny pedals. Which tbh worked fine, but looked pretty stupid.
They were like tiny round traps. Now you are supposed to strap your feet to them. But tbh? there's more chance of you getting a hand shandy of her maj than that happening. So I put on some orange Superstar Nano X. Problem is they are huge. And, when you hit like 30 and the adrenaline is going you tend to steer the front wheel right into your foot, making you shat yourself.
I learned in the end not to steer with my foot out, but every year I do it at least twice and shat myself. This is a bloody fast bike, and tbh I don't want to come off it at full tilt. So I have been eyeing up Hope's orange F12 junior pedals for years. Problem is they are 110 quid. So the other day I figured sod it, full "find something" mode. After many hours? the choice is actually pretty limited. Just as I was about to give up I found some of these on sale for 41 quid, down from 65.
Ticked all the boxes. Tasty, alu, and very small. They are actually kiddy's pedals. But that is exactly what I have been looking for.

Repo Comp2's for the JMC (to ride on), and a Repo Mongoose seat (for the goose I've not got yet :uglystupid2:)

All the bits for the Super Burner arrived this week. The frame , forks and bars are off to MR CREATIONS for super chrome.
It's not a keeper, so when it's built I'm moving it on👊🏻
