Title: Back to tanks.. STA 500
Post by: chubby on June 21, 2018, 10:23 PM: Hiya mid kid's.
Stuffed up a wanted for some scabby cranks, received an offer of profiles cheap enough.
Unfortunately they were attached to this so we all know what happened next .
It'd been partially stripped & wheels,seat,post & clamp sold off but everything else still there. Managed to track down the wheels,minus the Perry hubs & have seat etc in stock. Plan is to build it pretty much as it was, might swap a couple of rusty bits for other rusty bits on the way.....(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180621/be78b8d9fa1d460f2da4ee95fdcfb9a5.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180621/cb73fa01cd9da712e114b9525dcaf3ad.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180621/1954a758cc2e8cf10408cfe84c0f35ae.jpg)

Post by: chubby on June 30, 2018, 07:14 PM: Got the crank on today, really wanted to run a fat chain on something & few sprockets later I've managed to get it on this and clears everything !!! Really need a new split link if anyone has one floating around.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180630/fa51e38a645732dc0607c74f8429d877.jpg)

Swapped the bars later that day
Found a wall tyre for the front aswell, fiddling with the brake now & struggling for a fat chain link, this bugger is a real odd size.
