The Cobras got grabbed by somebody else because something was going down at work and I hadn't entered my final high bid :tickedoff:

Cheers dude, the pedals are not that common so I had to get them. Tyres, gutted but there are others I can use and wait for the right ones to turn up 👍🏼

A few weeks ago I popped in to see mum and dad, my dad says he's found some bmx forks whilst having a tidy up in the garage. He hands me some Tange TX 1200 with some patina and og decals. Cheers dad, nice one I say. When I got home after a little elbow grease they look quite decent, just a few battle scars but nothing too serious. So I thought to save time and trying to straighten the poor quality og Dangre forks with French threads, I can fit the Tange and run a road head set with British threading as suggested by Pete. I know I wanted all European parts but I'm thinking quite a few European BMX bikes used the Tange forks, so why not. So now the lovely Stronglight head set with French threads is redundant and I needed to find something else. I ended up buying a nos Cambio Rino competition steel head set, 80's made in Italy, decent quality from what I found with a couple of searches. 26.4 crown race and the stack height should be fine. So a change of plan but one for the better I think.

Result on the Tange and the headset looks nice :daumenhoch:

Yeah, a nice surprise from my dad. I prefer the Stronglight but needs must, if an English threaded one comes up I'll probably grab it. I cannot spend over a ton for a nice campy head set on this build. The Rino looks decent enough for now.
