Very nice build, sure your son will love it  :daumenhoch:

deeman:
Looking good! The brakes should be re useable, just get some new hardware i.e spindles, nuts, washers...all available on ebay easily, same as cables and pads  :daumenhoch:

Thanks for all the help, support and kind words!!

That stem does look good but I think the one I have came with the bike?  Pads arrived and far too excited already!

Ok, it's really just the brakes and pedals to finish.  Yes I have looked at the spares available and it will cost nearly as much for all the parts, blocks and levers as it could for a repro set.  Is it a bit pants to use the repro parts? I can't really find any reviews on them.  I thought i could strip the brakes to polished silver and then use new silver levers, again bad idea do you think?  This would be because the colour has faded and i might struggle to find old gold levers.

I have really enjoyed this build and I had snapped my achilles tendon (i think my pal gave me the bile as he felt sorry for me and to aid recovery)  try never to snap your achilles tendon, it really is no fun.  My next build is lined up bit its for a new Hutch XL26 so should be far easier. 

Cheers Nick
