Nope ! still wrong :LolLolLolLol:
The front wheel does not come with a skewer included. Those? were from axles I bought for the parts to repair the rear wheel. It was cheaper to buy a full set of hubs with skewers than to buy one axle from Shimano.
As such I bought a Ti skewer.
I also want to get alloy wheel nuts for the rear wheel. Now somewhere I have a set of those, in red, from the mag wheels I had on it.

Bottle cage done. Used Rivnuts. Just hoping they hold. Also made small decal.
BB arrived earlier. Will play with that tomorrow, because I spent the entire arvo working on the Hercules. Video on that tomorrow with any luck.

A few weeks ago I bought a pair of Free agent levers from the guy I bought the Hellcat frame set off. Im sure these are what was on the bars originally. As they are not hinged I had to remove the grips off of the bars to do the swap out. The white Wiz grips are grubby and I've only rode the bike once, so I'm deciding which grips to put back on. The Odyssey quick stops will be used on a tidier build in the future.

Fancied something different. Bikes getting a bit much.
So I have a Tag Mclaren AV rig. Surround processor pre amp DAC with lots of amps.
Really is my pride and joy. I bought a CD player for it last year (cambridge thing) but it just looked shit. I mean it would tbh. So I have wanted a Tag Mclaren CD transport for ages. Note transport, as it has no RCA out just a digital connection for the processor (DAC) to make it work.
Problem is they are 350 quid. And for the amount of listening time I would give CDs? no worth 350 quid :LolLolLolLol: I mean when you consider the transports were 1500 quid and up 20 years ago it doesn't sound that bad but aye, not paying that.
Then the other week I spotted this. Now do note, they did do all this gear in silver too, but this ain't supposed to be silver.
Someone literally spray bombed a 1500 pound CD transport :rant: Badly !
He had it up for 55. "Doesn't read CDs". Ok fair enough, the lazer has probably gone. Did a bit of digging, the entire mech is 12 quid (it's a Philips VAM unit) or 8 quid for just the lazer assembly. I almost bought a lazer assembly, but I had a feeling so I left it until it arrived. I paid 45 quid BTW, and it was a total shot in the dark. I knew if someone had painted it like that then it will be bad. I wasn't wrong either. It arrived, I picked it up and something was rattling around in it. Turns out the lazer mech had snapped out of the carrier, and it was broken. OK deep breath, I will get the assembly for 12 quid. I then stripped it and set to work.
Round one. It had three more after that. Three tiny scratches in the black anno, and there was still some silver paint on it in that pic. It needed two more rounds of isoprop to remove it all.
Round two. Round three.
Round 4 touch up paint.
Now I just have to wait on the new lazer assembly.

I finished the Minigoose on Saturday evening. She turned out ok. Here's a few pics until I get some outdoor shots at my spot. Some bugger has dumped a fridge freezer there though. I might have to find a new spot fistblump
