Well I actually forgot I had a bike to finish and parts.
I refer to this one.
I sold my Metal Kizz rider ages ago, leaving me with two potential riders. One is the Fit I built, the other the S&M. There are a few things I was not happy with with that S&M, though. I don't like the 4pc, I don't like the fork* and I don't like the cranks**
I fited an Evo a while after that pic was taken.
So that is sorted. I now have -
Profile box crank copies. Brand new, painted in S&M yellow. I will do the clear coat tomorrow before I leave. I also got the proper gold bolts for it, and some Profile stickers.
Eastern 2pc full cro mo bars in white.
Yellow S&M classic grips.
Fluide full cro mo fork in white. Both are OEM paint so 2k. The cranks will also be getting 2k.
Gold Eastern headset.
Red Eastern BB.
Red Proper brake hanger.
Yellow clear pads.
Yellow Eclat seat and post.
The seat and post will be only for show. As loud as the bike is it will be proper S&M colours.
* I painted the fork with shit paint. As such it has chipped badly right down to the metal.
** They were extremely well used. The left arm has a huge dent in the back of the pedal boss. Obviously that does not affect function, but on a bike like this they need to be amazing.
I'm not getting involved again tbh. I am actually working on something completely different and have been for two months. Will show pics of that when it is done but it is not bike related.
I just really, really want to finish that S&M. I'm annoyed I left it as I am off on holiday on Sunday and could have taken it with.
