Low end fun build

<< < (3/5) > >>

Chilli Rinse:
I had another go at seating the tyres properly earlier, red raw hands and no joy. So the decision was made to pop off the Naja's and fit a pair of Ammaco comp III's I've had knocking around for a few years now. They were rejected from my Blue Max build and have been on various wheel sets to protect them whilst being stored. The Ammaco's, although not a great tyre actually look OK on this build, and may suit it better than the green Naja's. This now probably means that the green Supercorsa won't be used and I'll go with the og saddle and grips. I can now stop looking at those green 1/2 DX pedals on eBay too, they are too pricey anyway !

This was dug out of the frame graveyard after my Luis Ocana build went tits up. The stem and bars were fitted this afternoon and the pad set is on too.

Hopefully on the way is a Tioga Max Flo spider and CD chainring both in white. They will be used with an unstamped Sugino opc and the Tioga Bear trap bb and SX pedals from the Ocana. Some new A'me Tri's in white are on the way too. I have a tidy 80's Selle Turbo in white that might find its way on the build.

The wheels earmarked for this build were used on my Crusty Rat build. I have some light blue Tuff II's that might work though. We'll see when it starts taking shape.

I have just bought this budget seat clamp for the build. After seeing Steve's gorgeous Vincent Air Zone with its mix of colours I decided to go down the same route on this build. I think the grey frame, fork and bars will pull all the colours together nicely.

Those bloody green Naja's I have will not seat properly on any wheels I have tried them on. I'm trying to wrestle them on the tuff II's mentioned previously. They are not having any of it.
