The brake hanger arrived 

It’s like a strip tease ffs.

I then realised I had no BB press as I left them both at mum’s nor a rubber mallet so I’ve ordered both.

Smashing on bearings with a hammer would have only ended in tears.

Haha the old slippery path to another whole bike 

My thumb bled all damn night. It soaked three plasters ffs.

Any way I stripped down the S&M. So the parts are all freed up

Going to game with my mate this weekend and do housework etc.

Coming along nicely!

I’ve been looking at some newer Sunday forks for sale on Yahoo Auctions and today I noticed that the seller had reduced the starting price by half!! I need another BMX purchase like a hole in the head but man, I’m tempted by 50% off as they’d go great with the Colony frame!!

Amazingly I’ve managed to cut open my thumb when doing the bars ffs. Went to spin them around when buffing and my thumb got caught in the barrel adjuster on the lever ffs.

Good news is the paint correction went perfectly. All of the minor rub marks are now gone and it’s like black glass with the ceramic coating on.



That’s the fork. I need to fit the crown race and bearing before I wrap the middle of the head tube with gold vinyl. Annoyingly I’ve bought cut out spacers so I also need to paint a portion of it black.

Right here be the bars lever and grips.



It’s a good thing I have cotton gloves ffs.

I’m waiting for parts.

I put the lever and grips on last night. I need to polish them (coming with Amazon today) then ceramic coat (got).

The fork has some minor rub marks so they need polish and ceramic coat so I’ll do that over the weekend and then the entire frame.

But yeah, no headset yet (so no star nut or top cap or crown race) and no tool or brake cable cutters.

I also ordered some PPF too that hasn’t come yet.

So yeah, it’s all waiting now. Mid next week I reckon, though I’m certainly not in any hurry.

I’m just glad I bought those tyres on sale for 9.99 as otherwise I’d probably do something daft like buy some Tioga FastrX for 60 quid EACH lmao.

Cranks are in. Very pleased.

So here is a few things I ordered.

I’ve wanted a set of these for years but they didn’t match anything. Now they do, the seat and theme of the bike.



I got this because I have no spacers at all.



These as mine are red.



Then a chain to save aggro and its gold and won’t be too big for my hub guard.



And finally a couple of very small pegs.



I also ordered these for the front wheel because they’re brilliant tbh.



Basically the socket arm connects straight in no socket needed. My front ones have rusted as they’re not coated.

Meh.

So the pedals I had in mind are Nukeproof kids pedals. I used them on my road bike as full sized pedals make your feet hit the front wheel.

They’re too small…..

So I just had one more “ton splurge” on some pedals and some “candy” to tart her up a bit lol.

Pics later when the deliveries have all been

I’m loving it already haha.

The fork came in today and the gyro kit. Cranks are coming tomorrow which is nuts fast from Germany.

I bought a 2026 Phillies shirt from Germany and it took a month ffs.

Oh and the gold vinyl for the head tube too!
