Thought I should just update with one final completion pic or two now that mudguards and saddles are all fitted. A rainy trip to Epping Forest the other day, and a few stonking blasts around the velopark road circuit during lockdown have ironed out teething problems. Eagle eyed viewers will notice the stoker’s cranks are not quite in line- I’m working on sorting that (long story related to too much chrome on the rechromed cranks and the delights of cotter pin filing).
I also managed to source some smarter brakes with all the chrome still on them quite cheap off eBay, so my electrolysis above was not needed in the end. Still, was fun...
Have also ordered some new handlebars as the existing ones are rather too deeply scored in places for my liking.
Chuffed to bits it’s all back together anyway and having lots of fun using it.
