No I didn't. Having seen his other builds they were a bit too much of a colour explosion for my tastes. Plus he only ever raced with Gallindo bars, which I don't really like either...

Going to be a stunning build in blue using all pro neck parts

Finally a little more progress with the NP build. Headset is now fitted, bulldog stamped blue stem (with blue Haro flex fighter), bars and grips all on and looking just how I'd pictured them. I also picked up the seat post clamp from the polishers yesterday too.

My wheel set also arrived through the post last week (thanks for building them up for me Steve69!) Again they have turned out just as I'd hoped . They're 1 3/8inch skinnies with a radially laced front :smitten:

...and the final piece of the puzzle has also now slotted nicely into place. After around 12months of pestering the original Team NP owner of the frame has finally sold me his own OG blue Natty Pro padset. I was desperate not to have to buy a repro set so I'm over the moon to have bagged the actual set he used to race with ;D They haven't arrived from the US yet, but were posted last week.
Only question mark I have is the rear brake option which I need to check for reach issues etc... once it is built up.
It's going to be very blue!! :D

Perfect timing - OG padset arrived today 8)

So the Natty P is starting to come together nicely now :)
I have tidied up my pair of Ultimate PV-1 pedals and fitted them along with some Profiles and a Profile 'Hop-Up' kit, which has worked out really well. Just waiting to fit the chain, tensioners and a rear brake set-up. I've got everything i need, just got to find a bit of time to finish her off.
