Here is another update.  It has been moving along quite quickly recently and I only need my chain tensioners and padset and jobs a good 'un for my summer ride.  I am going to change a few bits over the winter (like the cranks) and I'm playing with the idea of having it rechromed too?  But I'm going to enjoy it over the summer and will have a think about what to do when the weather changes for the worse at the end of the year.

NOS Stem from 'JT Smooth' and Ody cable/chainring bolts from 'JT71'.



Lovely Elina Seat from Munners.



I bought this power disk from Swivel, but chose to use the proper Sugino Spider instead which I bought from Stumpylee.  I'm going to have the power disk chromed and see what that looks like, use it as a bit of a winter project.



And here is it built up.



Big thanks to Haro 82 for sending me the dust cap I needed for the pedal, what a good bloke!  Cheers Mate.  I picked up the Izumi chain from Munners.





The finished product . . . nearly, just waiting on the padset from Firebird and the chain tensioners and its all done for the moment.  I'm a very very happy boy.

I'm going to be going on my 1st Ride this weekend I think   :smitten:  If the weather is any good I will get some more photos of it by the river in the sun and post them up.

Big thanks to everyone who has supplied me with parts and advice throughout the project, including those in my earlier posts.  I've really enjoyed building it and everyone on RAD has been proper helpful.  I know it doesn't live up to Rich the Rhino_macs Laserlite but its going to be a continuing project and I promise I will get those cranks changed soon.  Thanks for your interest Rich.
