Cheers minty. Comments are all good..running brakes on the rims with normal pads can be problematic, as the finish can be worn off easily. This can lead to the rims warping. I'm going to experiment with leather or cork pads to avoid this..fitting them to the delta brakes could be a task though..! Will be running it fixed too, so can avoid braking in most circumstances. Nice to know they are there though.
Build did originally have more colour, but as I amassed the parts it changed into a more classic mash of brown silvery ti goodness..it's a classic build so can't really be having bright anodised bits on it.
