This is turning out to be a slow build but the parts just aren't turning up as quick as I'd like. Anyway I've got a few more parts to turn up. I'm holding out for NOS parts on this build to cut down on annodising costs. Finally got some lovely NOS Gold Sunshine hubs of the bay that cropped up at the same time as some Cycle Pro 'Snakebellies' (thanks for the heads up Glynn) but didn't have the funds for both so I left the tires as they had a crack on them.
Parts list
NOS Sunshine Hubs
NOS Gold Sugino 44t.
NOS Gold Tange headlock nut (not spec for build but will be added to bike when ridden, Cheers Bro).
NOS Blue OGK Grips.
NOS Cycle Pro Headbadge.
NOS Gold Dia Compe rear MX900.
NOS Gold Dia Compe Tech 2 Lever.
NOS Yellow Dia Comp rear brake cable (dated 82)
NOS Gold Cycle Pro TTK Pedals. Still after the NOS KKT's
NOS Gold Suntour seatpost clamp.
NOS Sugino Chainring bolts.
NOS Cycle Pro Headset in Blue (to be stripped back to chrome and polished).
D.I.D. Nickel plated chain
Sugino Cycle pro UFO Stem (to be annodised gold).
Blue Cycle Pro 'Shot Gun II' saddle (restored, decals drawn up ready to be printed, rails to be stripped and re-coloured).
Maxy Cross 170mm 3 piece crank to be polished and annodised gold.
Araya 7X rims to be polished and annodised gold.

Just need a Gold fluted seatpost and the Cycle Pro Snakebellies.
In the process of drawing up the decals and sourcing a printer.
A few pics of the thing rough chucked together (Headbadge fixed with selotape at the mo). You can't really see the sparkle in the pics you gotto see it in the flesh. Bars, stem, crank will be gold.

Those white spots are glimers of light and not chips.
