Thread back on track  :angel: ( thanks Robbo... the voice of reason  :daumenhoch: )

Will put the 'vote off poll' up next Saturday AM between Robbo, GTLover and myself... hope Rob gets his decals in time!

It needed a tidy up... I cleared most on Robbo's suggestion but I don't know where your last 'sad puppy' post went... my daughter loved that pic  :smitten:

Update pic, just fitted a Sugino chainring, spider and bolts courtesy of Phantom Photon, Wardy and ebay.

Yeah I did actually want an 880 when I was looking for brakes and nothing came up, since completing the bike 2 sets have been offered to me, bloody typical!!

I'm going to leave the 901's for a bit and maybe change the front next year.  :daumenhoch:
