Outstanding parts are:
Paul shifter mounts, 22mm black Shimano ones please if anyone has some to sell? I’d specifically like the old style ones without the hinged bracket.
Some tires. I was hoping my 2.35 Supermotos would fit, but it just hasn’t the frame clearance. Thinking of getting 2.15 Maxxis dth instead.
A solid rear axle. I need a wide axle for this, so am trying to source a Wheels Manufacturing #20 tandem axle. I have however found an old Deore MT60 front hub with a solid axle and track nuts. I’ve swapped the axle to the M737 front hub so now have the front hub ready to be rebuilt.
Some spokes. I have spare DT Champ spokes the right length to relace the front wheel, I just need a few matching ones to rebuild the rear also.
A front rack. Thinking of trying a Blackburn Outpost rack on this. I’ve seen them work on Direct Drive forks to good effect, however mixed reviews leave me a bit hesitant. We’ll see.
Lastly I need carry a few more bottles, so more cages needed. Need to get some more King USB mounts to stick an Anything cage under the downtube.
Once I have these the build should be quick, unlike my other recent projects as I won't be polishing everything to a mirror.
