My TA finished (for the fourth time)
«
on:

Been meaning to do this for ages, and its typical that by the time I do get round to taking photos's I may have to sell it (moving house). Anyway for now its not, its mine and I want to enjoy it.
. Can anyone identify the only part(s) to survive from start to finish?
It started here using mainly the parts that came with it, but cleaned up to a reasonable level. But I clearly wasnt happy...
Phase 2, swapped out a few parts but still wasnt keen...
Phase 3 included the switch to black tyres, new crank, brakes, seat etc with the introduction of a few red bits to the party.
Finally I think I am happy. JC race bars, rejigged crack, straight post, new grips and red DX in place of the blue SX (also binned the blue chain for a silver Izumi...)
The extremely eagle eyed amongst you may notice the frame/forks changed before its last incarnation. I sold the original Jap made (curved bridge) frame to Macmania and replaced it with a US made (straight bridge). Just something about it being US made appealed more.
Hope you like...

T/A's are a funny bike to perfect
They should be easy , as you dont have to make a replica of a full bike ( being supplied as just a frameset only )
but I've had T/A's for around 3 years and always seem to be changing something or other for different reasons
colour balance , or era and factory rider correct
I've tried a red and blue mix or just black components or as currently red and silver.
Laybacks , CW's and Skyway bars , DX's and Skyway graphite pedals still might have another incarnation myself
But I have to say Danny ,,,,,that my friend, is the dogs
Love the one piece , unitrons, mixed Mx1000's just spot on fella

Thanx guys, appreciate the comments. Only thing that keeps niggling is that Helix stem, ideally id like an original blue Tuff Neck, but as it may be going at some point to help pay moving costs cant justify it at the moment. I am pushing for a cheaper house that might allow me to keep it, then I will think again about sourcing one.

Love TA's and that's a very nice example. You thought about a L/R Red/Blue lever with Blue cable into Red Caliper?
Well done, always nice to see some thought go into a build.
