Well I slipped up on the 39t chain wheel. I wanted to run 39/14 but since discovered the 14t rear freewheel is designed to fit the smaller hub and not my Suntour. Apparently there used to be one available but not any more. Unless anyone knows of where to get one I will go back to 44/16.

I see. I have those hubs for my Team Goose project to be done in the future.
Live and learn I guess.

And finally the Supergoose bars are here.
Not over happy with the remade mx1000. Fitted an original adjuster but still not nice.
I have some nos mx901 calipers  in blue but the rear doesn't seem to fit right in so much the brake pad wants to kiss the tyre. I don't know much about these tbh. Maybe they didn't fit in the first place :-)
Anyway just some pre bent levers to fit and it's pretty much ready for me to ride.

All done. Not happy with the repop mx1000s. A little better with genuine adjusters on mind. But will do for now. I want to ride it !
Got out today briefly. Shocked how fast these bikes turn in! It's been 30 years since I rode this and as well as the turn speed I can no longer wheelie , bunny hop or cross up!!  :-)
Think I might shorten the cables slightly but here we are. Hope it's up to standard
