Aka the thrill of the chase!! :D

Swivel:
Nice! I've never seen a Hot Heart with a gusset like this, only seen the ones with the HEART in it, cool. Looking forward to seeing this.  :coolsmiley:

I got these Shimano DX cranks some time ago and they came to me re-anodised in a shade of blue. As I need them to be black it was time to set about the laborious task of stripping, polishing and anodising them; I have detailled this elsewhere on this site and beyond. The anodising came out crackerjack, not perfect but I am improving every time.

Pretty good looking bottom bracket!

There are a lot of parts to a Shimano DX crank set-up but it all comes together so well and it is so integrated. I think the black makes it all look almost monolithic.

Moving forward nicely now, although things may slow down as I am planning on anodising a set of rims for this bike if I fail to find anything suitable in the meantime.

...this is a Nitto MX-2 stem, a repop. I did not get lucky tracking down an og stem so thought I would give these a go. Bought from Boydsbikes at MK a couple of years ago, I think they are great. I know some frown on repop but if you are going to fit repop at least make it decent repop; and this stem is way better than just decent!

Back in the day this stem was also homogenised into the Shimano DX family with a simple change to the sticker, Delcals sorted that little problem out for me.

The seat post clamp is Tange, a bit beat up but very nice none-the-less. I did look at a gold one but it did not work to my eyes.

More to come...
