Nice ride out today. The Cougar is almost exactly where I want her..recently added a lovely clean Hatta headset and Izumi ST chain.
Only things I need now is an appropriate BB for the Suntour cranks (109mm?) to straighten the chainline (off-line Izumi is loud)..only slight problem is that the rear spacing is 125mm, so fitting a shorter correct spindle could result in the 51t chainring nicking the stays, so may invest in a smaller chainring..maybe a 49t Zen ring or Suntour track if I can find one. Will then be able to go for the 18t EAI superstar cog and finish her in style! Totally love this bike though, she's the reason I'm selling all my nice gear :-)
