<< < (5/9) > >>

griff:
Great thread Peter - love how this is coming together (& great job on the crank!)

Taipan:
Great build thread  :daumenhoch:  I'd be more than happy with just a set of those DX cranks but they go for silly money now  :-\

bobafett:
Great build. Great thread  fistblump 8)

Avro:
Progress has been slow. Work has been terrifically busy not least as we start to gear up for the spring. The recent poor weather has relaxed things a little so I have been able to advance the project a little.

I have decided to replace the Tioga V bars with a pair of Kuwahara bars, sold to me a Nova (they have an identical shape to Laserbars; identical height, width and sweep but there are differences in knurling and the diameter of the crossbar). They are rider condition but not so that they compromise the build in any way. I love wide lairy bars

I bit of fettling of the Shimano Tourney DX brakes...

...it was going to get some OGK grips but as they were motorcycle ones I thought I would rather use these Tange ones...

...this is the Shimano DX chainwheel I anodised with the cranks, it came out perfect and first time!

Some time ago I documented the restoration of a couple of Elina Lightning Bolt seats on this forum (http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,190557.msg1915140.html#msg1915140) and at last I have a chance to use the black one. These are so dear now I doubt I will be able to afford another! I do have a sun damaged red one which I bought at MK a couple of years ago, I think that will be my last!

Wheels next and they need a lot of work, more soon I hope.
