Anyhow, as this is purely a rider, I made a start on it today  :daumenhoch:

NOS Gyro 2, Tange MX-2 headset, NOS '86 dated front Nippon  :smitten:  and mint rear '85 dated MX900.

Not sure whether to use the Skyway's now as my mate thinks I would be stupid to start running brake blocks around the stamped rim  :-\  :(






Not sure on crank setup yet though  :-\

all jap frames had a baseball stamped
The "baseball" logo is not a baseball as many of us thought. It is derived from the first kanji character of the name Koizumi as seen on the factory entrance plate  :daumenhoch:

Looking nice Terry, I agree with you on the crank set up. Too much silver???  :daumenhoch:

Cheers Rob  :daumenhoch:

I have a NOS black Pro Neck ring for it but not sure on the disc. It was drilled out by the previous owner for some reason, but badly   :idiot2:  I will put the ring on and see how it looks.

Its a yes from me, I like the gyro but maybe one with a black plate would tie in better with the other black/polished parts?  :daumenhoch:

I love this build Terry apart from the pedal colour!I reckon black would look way better!but they kinda give it an air of 80's authenticity i guess! :daumenhoch:
