lol same boat as you fella

Managed to fit the pots mod one and got some cable hangers for the rear but got no further yet (although do have some spare bits when purchased the bike).

Found these pics last night of a 99% original dec which gives some indication of how it's set up/parts, so that's a start.

radster StevenCosta sent me a link of his Dyno spintech set up which is useful:

So sort of using these as a guide. Will dig out the bits and bobs 2nite and will post some pics up

What are you doing with the front badge?

1mancity2 · « **Reply #7 on:** March 30, 2011, 02:23 PM »

I took some pics of the frame with cables on so got a good idea or were they go, just need to source new cable inners and then I think have a bash at hooking it up!

1mancity2 · « **Reply #8 on:** March 30, 2011, 02:25 PM »

The front badge is going to get highlighted but not sure what colours yet, probably black and white.

that looks pukka in yellow! did any Decades come in stock yellow or was it your own personal choice? never liked the torquoise colour..

Jesus Al, youve sped through this build as well, have you even finished the cali? I wanted to know how those wheels worked out for it

monkian · « **Reply #11 on:** March 30, 2011, 02:37 PM »

Nice work Al, can't believe how quick you got it done

Yellow works a treat with those decals

1mancity2 · « **Reply #12 on:** March 30, 2011, 02:53 PM »

No stock yellow one just thought it would look good, J still waiting for a couple of bits for the cali so at a dead end atm, you know me bud gotta be doing something, OH and got a 84 Expert to do soon!

1mancity2 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 30, 2011, 02:56 PM »

It's these what I am sruggling to find, the cable inners presume any cable outer will do,

1mancity2 · « **Reply #14 on:** March 30, 2011, 03:05 PM »

Think I have found it!!

Liking the Yellow with White parts

Cheers guys, wheels look like they are ready to come out in the morning and should get the crank sorted later, just stripped stem ready for powder tomorrow, asked Del about the spintech print and he needs a scan to do one so if anyone can scan it would appreciate it

oldschoolace · « **Reply #20 on:** March 30, 2011, 04:59 PM »

Bloody hell, nice work.
Did you paint or powder the frame? Looking to do mine over the winter (want to get a summers ride out of it first

) and dont know which to do. I think powder may cover too much of the knurling on the platform

Jaymz · « **Reply #21 on:** March 30, 2011, 05:45 PM »

these any good to you Al

1mancity2 · « **Reply #22 on:** March 30, 2011, 06:17 PM »

Cheers J will measure tomorrow (bits at work) I've powdered the parts and they do hide the knurling a bit but not so you can't see it
