Title: New project Cw Zs First pic inside
Post by: DoubleD on January 01, 2012, 07:42 PM: first note to markyp

Thanks for letting this one go

got the frameset a few weeks back and started to get parts for it , i had some parts but needed to refurbished

so i started whit a set araya 7x that where original silver but in bad shape and i got some sr high flang hubs that where beat up

i stripped of the silver anno, and sanded the scratches out of the sides they started to look good
Now i started something i hate but whas really needed

i started to polish them up and whas amazed by the result
damn that looked hot and shiney
after that i started whit the hubs and got the same result ... Fook me this is so nice to see awsome result when putting some elbow grease into a project

i got my asahi spokes and niples from jt smooth and started to lace them
the result is just awsome, these chrome wheel set would go perfect whit the untouched cw frameset
i started to get the bike in my head and thats how its gonna be
from a score i did last year i also bought 2 sets nos sealed Suntour euro bottom bracket sets
i placed it in to the frame and it felt like they where made for each other, perfect fitting, and perfect for the cranks i am going to use

i got the taste of stripping anno of and polish to show shine

so i also started to do the Suntour powerstem and the faded gold mx900 rearbrake :smitten:

So now i have the build in my head and thi sis what its gonna be

Nos frame cw zs and fork
Nos suntour Euro Bottom bracket
Araya 7x whit lf sr hubs both polished to showshine
Polished Suntour powerstem
nos Chrome cw bars
nos chrome straight seatpost
nos beartrap headset
Diacompe mx900 also polished
diacompe chrome brakelever
Cranks Not sure on these ones or suntour vx or ???
Pedals black shimano dx or polished suntour xcii pedals
grips gonna be ame tri black for now untill i find a set ame duals in black and white
Nos tioga 20x1.50 tyres ( it still is a expert size )
Refurbed kashimax areo in black
and chrome izumi chain ( almost here whit the chain for the e.t replica )

Maybe i add a suntour headlock to in black and chrome but not sure on this one

as you can see its gonna be a shiney bike

i am not sure on the padset i am gonna use
i wanted to chrome ones from juan, but whit the red and yellow cw writing on them

imagine this bike in your mind till i post some build pics

Post by: DoubleD on January 04, 2012, 06:13 PM: Thanks mate, i really love how this bike comes together at the moment

specially the chrome flite padset ( repro ) is awsome

The cranks and chainring needs to be cleaned and polished so a little work there

I really cant believe the size of the bike for beeing a expert, it feels like a pro frame when you sit on it

Waiting for some restoration decals and the pedals

Post by: hunterdubber on January 04, 2012, 07:54 PM: Is that 4 foot seatpost down hitting the BB shell Danny :D :LolLolLolLol:

Blingy build 8) 8) 8)

Definately get those red/yellow CW pads though, finish it off perfectly :4_17_5:

Thats a robinson straight seatpost its about 35 cm long :D

and indeed looking at the chrome filt padset i think it would look awsome whit the chrome red yellow padset
i also have to choose between suntour vx cranks or sugino maxycross
The suntour will match the bottom bracket and some other suntour parts but the maxicross are also a lush set of cranks to look at

it s a tough desicion ;D

Post by: rad_pitt on January 08, 2012, 05:41 PM: looks great Danny :4_17_5: really starting to get a feel of it.

I enjoy rest builds the most. Taking something that is tired, and bringing it back to life is the best compliment you can pay to something that has lasted 25-30 years. Great work :daumenhoch:
