Suntour Stem & Pedals
Araya 7B's with HF Suntour sealed hubs on NOS green/blue Comp IV's

How long have I  been waiting to see this  , eh Ali  ,  ::)  :LolLolLolLol:  I remember the dealings to get the frameset

To get a build as perfect as this , you can't rush it .  8)

Like you ,my builds evolve , with a tweek here and there as certain parts turn up , I know it it can take years  :crazy2:


As with your Torker Pro X  before  Al , this is 100% class  :smitten:  :smitten:  :smitten:

You can't rush a build, too many are built in a few days and it shows. Then you get the other end of the scale with a build like this  :4_17_5: :4_17_5:

Fantastic, hat off to you Al  :coolsmiley: :coolsmiley:

Working on that premise my 85 Haro Mater build will be awesome; I started collecting the parts back in 2004!

Nice build there btw Al, always liked those GHP's
