I thought that I'd hit a bit of an expensive wall with this as I got the parts together to see what I still needed to get and I noticed that my tyres had yellowed a bit and my seat was scuffed where one of my Wife's mates fell of my Aero Reflex, pissed on a gravel drive when she was brimmed with tart fuel.

Added expense could easily have made me lose the love for this but I got off my lazy arse and scrubbed the tyres with bleach and sanded (lightly) the seat, so we are still on with this.

The Tuff's arrived from Steve (20to25) this morning.

Quick update on this.

I’ve been collecting a few more parts since the last post, cables, brake pads, bottom bracket, headset, new stem, crank etc etc, so it’s still been bubbling away nicely in the background.

I’ve spoken with Steve Dobson about the decals and pads and the frame and forks are ready to be boxed up and sent to Dan’s. I still need to get a Tange headlock which I’m hoping to paint white, I just need to work out the best way to mask off the alloy faces on the grip section. I also need a chain which I’ll get from my LBS and another set of brake blocks.

It’ll be ready for a build up then. 😎

Any news Dan?

I need the following which I’ll sort out over the next few weeks:

2 x white DC brake pads
Pad set (in discussion with Steve over)
Decals (ditto^^)
A chain
A silver Tange headlock

Oh, and a box to send the f/f to SBD

Sorry Carl, was in a rush this morning.

Are they like the tan blocks, just white?
