Laserlite saddle options

Frosty:
Great project, it is exactly how I came to spend so much money on this hobby too. I stumbled across a KZ83 frame by chance on ebay and then from e.mailing the seller got to hear about RADBMX and vintage etc and the rest is history.

I would agree with the recommendations to clean the frame initially, mine was rather worse nick than yours and the re-chrome whilst quite good does still have some discolouration at the spots where the rust/corrosion was worst - typically the most difficult places for the chromers to work in!!





As Ian said cranks have to be 400's imho, hubs ideally the Suntour sealed high flange (but again these are rocking horse poop).

Pedals do not appear on your photo's, but oem should be Suntour XC-II's.

The headlock should be black - I can swap a used black for the blue if you want?

I know the problem on tech III's also, my bike is awaiting for a good one and is making do with a tech IV.

Re: the saddle should be the turbo like below

from this


to this


I may be able to help you with a NOS one of these in the same blue as the one above, I need to check and see what I have in the garage and also what I would need to get to recover costs.

the IRC's will be the hardest to get, but again I may be able to help with some different versions that were on the Nova





here's mine - I still love this bike just wish I had one when I was little!!



Cheers

Paul
