I've got enough silver and black bits lying around to build it up and see what it looks and rides like. Mostly era-correct-ish, with the exception of this DK stem - http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,179815.0.html - but that's all I've got at the moment so it'll have to do.  :daumenhoch:

Mikku:
So here's what I've got and am therefore thinking of at the moment:-

the afore-mentioned DK stem;
DK seat post clamp;
Araya 7X with sealed Suzue hubs & Suntour freewheel;
Jaguar seat;
rear Dia-Compe 890, tech 3 lever and cable;
re-pro A'me cams;
Tioga/Sugino opc;
Tioga CD disc;
Victor beartraps (the older ones);
used Izumi chain (on its way from Blighty);
the old, no-name layback that was on my Laserlite (if I didn't chuck it out);
some new Panaracers from Natsukashi (if I can't find something 2ndhand).

nosepickben:
Oh yes. Looking good. Would like to see a 3 piece crank on it though.

3-piece cranks are for posers! ;D I only say that because I always wanted some 401s bitd but could never afford them! :daumenhoch: So for the time being, the cheap 'n' cheerful opc it is.

MartyC:
Nice frame and fork, I really like these.

An interesting thread on the history can be found here...
