• Things left to do:

    1. Dimple stays.
    2. Brake mounts for the fork
    3. Cable stops everywhere. The frame has band on everything, which is fine, but not what I wanted. Plus they are mega rusty.
    4. Find a external BB that will work
    5. Pump peg
    6. Mudguards
    7. Paint. There's a mob in Surry which offer Cerakote (stronger powder coat) and sand blasting, so will have that done once I've done tinkering. As the bb has no threads, I don't really need to mask anything, as I can run traps through it (headset will be fine, it's approx 15um of paint max, willing to bet the range cups from the 80's went controlled that finely)

    Bonus

    1. Racks. Maybe. Might just buy something. Unsure.
    2. Headtube badge/down tube decal. Unsure what to do here, the frame is a no name with no serial number, so I was going to make my own. I really like the raised lettering I've seen around (most recently on August) but I seem to remember geekhouse doing it in the early 2000's. I was thinking about calling it Allora, which is kind of Italian for "what now" but I'm not Italian, and when I mentioned it to my Italian mate she said it was wasn't quite the pun I thought it was.

    Otherwise, I'm getting pumped. It looks cool and I'm excited to ride it.
