Nitto B123 AA NJS added and the NJS stem that was on with the pursuits is back on.
(colour of this pic is pretty messed up for some reason?)
Since pic I've added a gashimax TT protector made out of electrical tape. I've gone for exactly the same proportions as a real kashi one and done a fairly good job it it, stealth gashimax ftw!
Next on this list is to turn the rear tyre the correct way around, fit 18t and slam wheel, plus remove the quick-link.
There is a possibility of a set of HHSB wheels in the next few weeks as I've just been given some rather tasty wheels but think I'd like to stick with the Miche wheels as I love them so much. I stripped them and put some better quality bearings and real good quality grease, plus had them professionally tensioned and high quality rim-tape. They run absolutely perfect, the fastest set of wheels I've ever owned.
Just about to order some new track-nuts and chain-ring bolts.
Really really happy with the build, have been umming and arring whether to keep this as I still need the money, but it will be a very, very reluctant sale as I'm in love with it (it sleeps at the end of my bed).
As some of you may know I do custom paintwork and I get beautiful frames handed to me to re-paint alot of the time and I've just been given the opportunity to swap some paintwork for a VERY special frame from it's original owner, but I'm not getting my hopes up until it's in my hands. I've been told the frame went under the radar for some 30 years and even the brand who made it put a search out for it 20 years ago as they wanted it back..
