Nothing left to change (unless I get some "real" forks for it  ::) )

The hubs are PE hubs. The Hubs I designed in 92ish. That pair are the first, non prototype pair. Still working fine.

The forks are "stupid" forks. They came out after Menstrual forks and they were a bit different. The "real" forks had dropouts like pitchforks of the time, with non of the drop out coming under the fork leg.

Im not sure what the finish is. Its like its got fake rust over the top of the chrome. I was gunna paint it but I like it now.

A fine bike. Left side drive and the brake levers the right way round.  :yahoo_silent:
Very very nice. Will she be getting some action this summer then..??

Whats the story with the Hubs Alex ?

Any close ups ?
I might actually build a bike this year instead of just hoarding parts :)

That's an elastic band  :-[. The brake is a shimano U brake that has internal springs. One side doesnt really work so I went the true Mid school way and gave it some external help.

PE hubs. Hubs I made for a while and sold through Cyclone Cycles (Bicycle Union HQ at the time). They were the first LHD hubs. They had massive axles that used normal 10mm axles as a "bolt/skewer". They were cool but micro drive and weight saving kinda killed the demand for them.
I should do a sticky on them really. I think Harris has more of them than I do now!  :LolLolLolLol:
