Hello Guys,
I know I am not around here much-kids and life prevent that but I was at the box (computer) and found myself here and thought I would post my latest build for you guys on the other side of the pond. :)
Enjoy Fellas,
Scott
1985 Profile Magnatanium MiniWell it all started 2 years ago when I stumbled onto the hubs-Magnesium Shelled Gyrolites with factory aluminum axles on ebay. I bought them knowing they were rare and I collect mainly PROFILE so it was easy-as time went on I have only found 1 other set. I figured I would eventually use them on a PROFILE mini build but was in no hurry for that. As time went on I acquired 2 set of mini pedals (Magnesium bodies with optional TI spindles). I kept the better and sold off the other. I always wanted the mini crankset but knew they were rare and figured I would never get a set-however I was lucky they found me as well as a NOS F/F set. I have been extremely fortunate to have accumulated these parts in a fairly short time. Anyhow the parts line up:
F/F: NOS Profile Magnatanium Mini
Headset: NOS Stronglite
Headset Lock: NOS HUTCH Magnesium
Seat clamp: none TI bolt that also holds the quick release
Seat: NOS UNI Mini Graphite
Stem: STUDD Mini with TI hardware
Bars: RACE Inc. to be replaced
Grips: NOS AME Mini Duals
Brakes: NOS DC 750 Center pulls
Brake Lever: NOS Shimano DX Black
Cable: DC
Brake pads: NOS Skyway Pro pads
Tires: NOS Panaracers
Rims: NOS UKAI Black 1 1/8
Hubs: Profile LF Gyrolite Magnesium AL axles
Spokes: Titanium
Nipples: Red alloy
Freewheels: Suntour 14 (NOS) and 17t
Cranks: Profile Magnatanium mini 165mm TI spindle
Chainring: NOS STUDD with Titanium hardware
Pedals: Profile Magnatanium mini Mag bodies and TI spindles
Chain: NOS Izumi Black/Silver
Pads: Black ZAP

Thanks my friend.
The 1986 was actually a survivor I bought and switched a few parts:
Stem, grips, post, had to replace the tires to ride.
Those my friend are not SON Lite Turbos...but the much more rare PROFILE Gyrolite 2's with optional Ti axles. Have only seen less than 15 sets...these were NOS.
and a very htf straight blade fork.
