after a roll a round the Mx 1000 failed, snapped the bolt off at the frame so into the spares box ,   a  set of 860's lurking in the bottom , now there's a pair of em so why not bung em on they were black so usuall score , sure you know it by now caustic , not too bad after so just a quick rub over with peek not gone for the buffer treatment on these although might do it later on , just buff up the rusty bits but only till there clean not shiney




all finnished and mounted, the front brake cable was what was cut of the rear and an inner out of the spares so no additional fundage needed  





i never realy got on with MX122 or the other one from the spares but i did have a pair that were unused, black with shiney levers , again given the same treatment , nice size and don't flex like the old MX ones




to the final costings and final pics ??   there's a reason for the ??  
 
one,  ?,   is for the pics,    some of you commented before you prefered the spokey dokeys so i'll add some spokey pics when i get round to swapping em
the other one is a little more serious

at the end of the last post i said it might need a set of frame pads just to tidy it up a bit so started to mock up a few of my own most were just rubbish     some were actually too nice didn't look cheap enough if you get what i mean

so found some on tinter web for £6.99  actually looked like the sort of pad that would come on a low end bike, result   i had decided to leave the bike with tuffs on, bit of tinkering to sort out those stupid axles,    but here is where the question mark comes into play i'd forgotten that i'd had to buy an additional set of tuff pads as it now had a front brake , so the final cost before i ordered the pads was £40.50 + £7.98 for tuff pads total

£48.48      think that might be a resonable name for the bike  

so finnished and under budget chuffed to bits,  done it  



 then with the cost of the pads it come in at £55.47      FAILIURE !!!     still us brits love a loser dont we   just over 10% of the budget acceptable in todays economy     cheers and oppologies

[oldtired]

if there was a posotm i might bung it in there , wouldn't dream of discracing the real botm 

[Jaymz]

loved this project and its progress from the beginning, youve done a cracking job, and those pads really do the biz. great job

[rooski]

turned out nice again

[oldtired]

sorry to bump this up to the top again chaps but i think this deserves it

Radster Jaymz has bunged us this on pm just when i though the work was done he's given me a bit more to get on with     decal mock up      got to say i love them     brilliant  nice one Jay

my £50 still waiting (prefer bikes without pads so for me you still managed to stay under budget)
I'll even let you keep the change to spend on mojos and foam shrimps
