Post by: Moose on November 18, 2005, 03:03 PM: Here she is, all NOS except for the pedals that are just new (I do have some NOS Shimano SX in pink but decided to go with these).

I do have a slightly darker pink seat, to try, but the 1pc crank pisses me off. It's tioga, same as the headset only it's a much lighter pink ???

It looks great - but think I'd change the pads though, and what a bargain -

Post by: Moose on November 18, 2005, 04:12 PM: I actually debated taking my NOS tuff pads out of thier packet, but couldn't bring myself to do it.

I'll probably wait until I get a spare set and then put them on.

Post by: Moose on November 18, 2005, 05:28 PM: ;D ;D

Greentoad, you really are great finding these links for me, thanks. But I also have a pink hutch chain, I just never put them on.

I always buy every item for my builds. but very rarely do I put the tuff pads on unless I have a loose set and I've only once put a chain on (even then I didn't shorten it and I took it straight back off again after taking pictures) ;D
Title: Re: Just built my '85 Sport......in true '80s Style
Post by: dordymush on November 18, 2005, 07:09 PM: lol why no chain.

Post by: Moose on December 01, 2005, 01:02 PM: No, I don't know any Vincent Freestylers that still exist (the original triple top tube ones anyway).

There's an AirZone on ebay now, but that doesn't really interest me (unless it was cheap).
Title: Re: Just built my '85 Sport......in true '80s Style (Now, slightly changed)
Post by: ORB on December 01, 2005, 01:05 PM: Ditto, there has been a couple of Air Zones on the bay of late.

Post by: Moose on December 01, 2005, 01:07 PM: I'm assuming that the one on there now is the Orange one that sold on ebay in May/June (maybe)?
