Ultimate PV-1 Pedals after a bit of a tidy up. They're amazingly light.

OG blue Bulldog-stamped Pro Neck stem (thanks Shaun Hankins) has been left in as-found survivor condition as i couldn't bring myself to mess it about too much, plus as with most of these the bulldog stamping is fairly light.

I do love a nice pair...... of grips!

You won't find many of these around. I have been actively hunting for a second pair for around 2 years now after finding the blue set and putting them aside for this build. I had to put them through the washing machine (in a mesh bag) several times to get them this spangly. They're lovely and soft and are a two-part design, with the blue part being laid over the raised white pattern.

After much hunting i discovered that they also came in red and white, pink and white and black and white.... and i eventually also scored this set which will be going on to my next build.

I swapped a set of those Akron grips for some mushies bitd, put them on and went out in the rain...those grips were slippery little buggers, traded them back for the mushies the same day  :LolLolLolLol:

Bikes looking cool  :daumenhoch:

dinglem:
I can imagine that actually, as they're pretty smooth apart from the raised white bits. I just love the look and feel of them, and the fact that you never ever see them on other builds.

Pleased to hear you like the bike. Will be finished shortly!  ;D
