She's upright. The crank bolts came. Fit perfectly. Had to do some tech pics and measuring for my friend so he can make the shoulders.
Brake and chain tomorrow and Sat apparently. Shoulders a bit longer, but it will be done sometime next week.
Midschoolfool:
Pedals are going. I really don't like them. the colour is fine, I just don't like the shape. At all. I know it's been designed with riding in mind but they are too skinny and I don't like the shape of them.
Just found those on Ebay. I might ditch the grips too. They get dirty very quickly and it doesn't wipe off.
Midschoolfool:
Yup. when to hold and when to fold. Those pedals and grips just looked wrong. Thank god I got the S&Ms for my STA.
That Proper brake isn't going on until it's been stripped and polished either. The colour of the frame just can't take anything busier than the seat really.
Have fitted the Kink one for now.

Now you're talking :smitten:

It didn't occur to me to even search for them tbh. So glad I did now. I love NOS stuff. Sooo awesome :D
So earlier I had to take the measurements (properly) for the shoulders. I guess I was tired and a bit pissed off when I guesstimated them, but tbh they would never have worked. My pal sent me a really nice vernier. Far better than the one I forgot to bring over.
That's my crank installer. It fits perfectly. So I used that for the OD of the shoulder.
Next up the OD of the bolt head.
And depth of the counter.
After modelling it
He test printed one to see if it "looked right". Things in 3D look weird. Looks pretty spot on, so he will bash those out ASAP.
The last thing to do was buy this.
To stop the fooker walking out.
