With the typical dry powder

So, no surprises hear, out with the hair dryer (at half-past midnight, it's amazing what you can get away with when the clock rolls over to your b'day day :LolLolLolLol:)

And then finally fitted to the build
One thing I failed to mention earlier was that, prior to commencing the wheel build I did quite a few 'offer ups' and 'measures' of the hub in the frame, so that I could cut the axles down in length before I started, so that when finished and fitted I could have the wheel fitted with virtually flush finish axle length to wheel nut outers. (Ultimately I'll be swapping the current wheel nuts out, but only when I locate some 24tpi Suntour's or Tuf Neck's)
Then a few of her outside in the sunlight the following day

Then, over the same few days I also made a couple of extra minor alterations.
Firstly those load spreading washers on the front hub, the silver anodise was bugging me, felt those washers would look loads better on this build if they were polished. So out came the oven pride and off we went.
One stripped, one prepped for polish

and then polished & re-fitted

And that rear brake nut & washer. Yep, removed both of those and gave them a quick wipe over the polishing wheel too

And then, possibly a little controversial :-\, I fitted a nos dia-compe recessed nut to the front brake (I much prefer the flush finish look these give, & it's an early freestyle inspired build as I would have ran it BITD if I'd been lucky enough to own one back then)

and then finally (for now) these turned up today
[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]
but I'll hold those back until the next update, probably later this week once the Panaracer's have arrived, been cleaned, and fitted.

So, in typical sign-off fashion, that's all for now guys. :daumenhoch:

Mikku:
