Goose on a budjet
Flake:
Before I start: Sorry to the goose purists and era correct dudes
As I mentioned on a previous post (Trident bars) Her-indoors is making me clean out the garage and bin lots of crap. So taking some advice from several RAD members. I decided the best way to get rid of the old parts was to build a new bike. Being skint after Xmas I blew the whole budjet for this build on the F+F.

Seems that I have lost half my post some where?

Here is where I'm up to
Recycled parts. (all were very scaby)
MX1000 (were blue de-anodised and polished)
Tech 2 levers (were blue de-anodised and polished)
Suntour stem (was yellow de-anodised and polished)
Trident bars (recycled)
seat post (recycled0
Chain wheel (was blue de-anodised and polished) not yet on bike
spider (recycled)
had seat clamp
BB (recyled0
Parts bought
Wheels from ebay off a RAD member 48 quid
tyres Halfords bargain bucket 3 quid each
Kashimax MX 30 quid
Dia-compe cables 6 quid each
Parts on order
grips
pedals
crank
This build has been far more enjoyable than the last. Being restricted by money and the parts I had, has meant I have had to put a bit of time and effort in to getting the parts to look semi decent. It's far better than just buying off the shelf and sticking them on.
As always your opinions good or bad are very welcome
