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

Tis the season :LolLolLolLol:
Seems to be a lot for sale at the moment. Good prices too.
Talking of the season. Bit shit at the moment isn't it? one minute it's lovely and warm then the next it's cold. So I went on TKmaxx again and picked this up.
And a top.
57 quid the pair. Got to the checkout and it said "You saved 280 quid". Can't beat that.

Most of you probably know that the later Raleigh Grifter XL came with Nitto bars, I only found this out recently though. So needing some decent Japanese bars for a build and steering clear of the pricey stuff and missing out on some eBay auctions that ended up selling at a reasonable price, I thought I would have a look on eBay. Boom 💥 under a score posted, result. Nice early race look to them with the sweep.

I just took delivery of another set of these today. I thought it wouldn't hurt to have some sitting in the parts pile for the right build . They cleaned up pretty well too. 22 notes well spent I reckon.

Push the boat out.. One sticker :LolLolLolLol:

Kinda annoying those. Wondermic had a set up on Ebay. I bid on them, but tapped out at 38 quid. Joke tbh. I wanted them for my Pork. Any way, just got those for 25 quid delivered. Mounted but never used. Not even sure if they were the ones I was bidding on, no idea.
Any way yeah, cherry on the cake for the Pork. I also got these.
I know, WTF right? well the Eastern has new school pedals on. I wanted something a lot more mid school, so I got those. And you are probably thinking I am mad and or stupid. Sort of, but not this time lol.
The green ones are going on there, and those demos are going on the Eastern. Talking of the Eastern...
Well first the cranks need some work to make them perfect. I think I will paint them satin black. They have koofs in them and to get rid of those would require getting very rough. I don't have a black set, so I can use some JB, and yeah satin black. Any way I wanted a bash for it, as like the Standard et al I want it as heavy as humanly possible :LolLolLolLol: So I first bought this from Wondermic for 35 quid posted.
KHE Grinddisc. Any way, then the guy I got the Eastern from says he has and will send me this :LolLolLolLol:
So aye, I got options.

Hi guys, thought I'd drop in a derail this cool thread.
But firstly, the biggest of thanks, for all the kind words over on my Changa thread and other channels over the past month or so :daumenhoch: :smitten:.
So, here's my 'it got delivered today', or actually at 9:09 Monday morning...

Yep, that's it, nothing else matters. Amber and I are still buzzing, and so so proud of our daughter for delivering a grandson we never imagined we'd have, & who went through this without a partner, and has had a hell of a journey herself getting to this point (another sad, crazy long backstory in it's own right). Makes you thankful for the life and miracles you have, even when the mundane stuff kicks you in the gonads.
So that's it, I'm back on 'my happy wagon'. The sun shines, life's great. Thanks again, and now that I've f@@ked the thread, let's all get back to building.
Stay safe, keep it :radbmxsmilie:, and look out for updates soon.
Pete :smitten:
