Thanx Tony, and I'm well chuffed with the frame and fork set m8.    :daumenhoch:

As for brakes , I 'd definately put Shimano Tourneys on it , they're better than 890's any day  ;)

She has mirror polished 890's on her at the mo.
I couldn't stand the Mx1000 I put on the rear to get me out for a wobble the other day, and I don't have any Shimano's kicking about the place.
Not a final solution for stopping power as I robbed the 890's off my rider Turbo Leary, but they'll do for now.
Anyhow, I have a new rider TA  >:D

Any idea's on brake blocks lads?  I have a set of black Skyway blocks on her at the mo', but I'm not too keen.
They stop me nicely, but where they're black, from a short distance away it looks like the callipers have no blocks in at all...
I know it's only cosmetic, but are there any blocks similar to say Dia Compe's that have a polished plate that will do the job?
These Skyway pads seem to powder quickly too, is this age or is it just the way they are?  ???
If there is no real alternative to Skyway, would the newer freestyle ones be kool for the build?

Thanx lads,  Gav.  :daumenhoch:
