As soon as I'd finished my Pro Racer build I was planning this build (probably mid build tbh), nearly a year since the F&F came my way and now the parts have slowly come together to warrant the thread.
Progress pics to follow

Now that is going to be a nice rider bike :4_17_5:

Decided to go chrome & Blue on this build.
A few bits that will end up on the finished bike
MCS made hutch forks - been told they're quite rare, they did come with the frame which has a double stamped bridge.
Some Campagnolo sheriff's - I know it's not in keeping but I just love them.
Hutch flyte pad set
Oakley B1B's
Will be visiting the chrome finishers soon to pick up some bits
Updates when necessary fistblump

any shots of the double stamped brake bridge? :daumenhoch:

Of course Taipan, pics attached

I managed to find a NOS Tange MX3 headset but had the gold colour rim around it
So I manged to find the perfect solution - Company called "great planes" A model manufacture make coloured metallic tape - and 3mm wide - perfect!
PS if anyone needs some of that tape to do the same then I've got a roll of it, I am well pleased with the results :)
Still got the OG gold tape if anyone needs
Next resto will be a redline chainwheel - so that it has the OG brushed finish and not polished.
cheers

Def watching this one :smitten:

Ok, it's been a while but here are some progress pics
Slowly slowly

Oh and the storage cupboard :)

Love it. 8)

Those hub's are super sexy! "wantit" can't wait to see this one coming together :4_17_5:

Another BB installed & crank on fistblump
Waiting for some tyres to land from Trumpton

Right I've been a bit lapse on the updates but finally I can now build this bitch, visited the chromers today to pick up some bits -now there is light at the end of tunnel.
NOS raised edge HUTCH bar decal added
And the mint B1B's added too
Question for you all to ponder on, I have black & Blue tyres - Mid 80's Comp 3's (greedy but couldn't afford to miss out on rarity of them coming up - Sods law they were 1 week apart)
Which do you think would go better on the final build baring in mind this is a chrome and blue build.
Cheers All

Latest update, I have more combos to try but won't get those bits until mid July, So here she is as she stands at the moment. Glad its built and as always its the journey that's counts.
Anyone got a mint Blue Hammerhead?
The next journey will be in June & down to the South coast weekender organised by Nitrohopper - See the "Events" section! (can we have a "plug" icon please ;)

Looks nice fella :daumenhoch: got to be honest I really like the decals on those Elina UL seat posts but christ! those seats are uncomfortable? ???

Yeah I know, it just came up at the right time. I've got a Kashimax Aero to try which may suit it better
Cheers
