2004 Euro Barcode.
Midschoolfool:
Went back through my receipts and noticed the tyres were listed as front tyres. Then I was worried it's because they're too tall to fit the rear. Seems they are not.
Once the bars were done hanging over the rad for a few hours I took those up to look at them under the LED lights. Found a few chips in the metal itself under the primer, so took those out with a sanding barrel then feathered them.
Midschoolfool:
Bars are currently outside drying. Decided to ditch the headset I bought in favour of this. A NOS Tange Tank. Cost a bit, but it's awesome.
Midschoolfool:
Bars are done. Primered them up again last night.
Then black gloss.
And then clear. Currently drying in the spare room.
Was going to clear them tomorrow, but it's Easter so I CBA.
Midschoolfool:
Bellend in mitt.
We have a front end !

I wasn't going to do this today. Sadly it would seem I am addicted. The hub guard was meant for the front wheel (you can see it in the bars pics there, it's 10mm). Sadly it was a bit beefy for that and ended up in the spokes. So I ordered this a few days back, came today.
It worked brilliantly. Aside from one bit. There is a notch there for the guard to stop it spinning in the drops. Well the 14mm part would not reach that without making the hole in it 16mm (it's not deep enough). I pissed around with the sanding barrel on the dremel for about five minutes, before realising carbide was the way forward.
Go on, resist that you twat. Of course it had no chance, and thus.
We now have a hub guard.
