You're going to struggle finding 25" Redlines especially affordable ones  :)
So you're telling me there's a chance?



A very slim one but you're in danger of them becoming your "nemesis" part  ;D

Sadly its a case of the hourly search and refresh of for sale boards...

Very nice indeed  :4_17_5: , I too would switch out those wheel nuts  ;) .

Have you already got a cool race plate planned for it to finish it off ? ( Hot plate , Haro colour plate , Saber plate ? ) .

Thanks  :daumenhoch:

Yep, got everything I need for this build, 1st gen "Osaka Japan" OG pad set and a hot plate.  I need a plate, ideally a hot plate for the chrome and blue build.

 ;D I did think "this comment is almost identical to the other one"  ;D  I'd still like a Hot plate for the chrome build though...  ::)

How's this one coming along Chris?

I'm nearly there with my KZ-2 rider parts, not going to be as strictly correct as your two but will hopefully be general early 80s era correct and Japanese products.

Might start an Old School Race thread myself this weekend. Polished up the bottom bracket and cups a bit yesterday, will start on the frame Sunday in the sun (fingers crossed)  :coolsmiley:

I think this one is there Keith, if the sun is out tomorrow i'll take some pictures as i'll be with the bikes. 

I have to say that this is my favourite of the 2 factory builds - its a little rougher around the edges and has probably taken 3 years from first to last part, but its been a background build if you like...

I can't wait to see yours (eww er) - have you got all the parts you need now then?

I've got everything apart from a brake lever and Kusuki/Win Slant stem (but hopefully Ian/bodamus might have one earmarked for me at some point in the future).

I'm going to say that a couple of the parts are not EXACTLY the original vision I was going for but I wanted to get it built and ride it. I might change a couple of bits in the future if the right part comes along at the right price.  :daumenhoch:

I'll post some pics soon and get some opinions. It's certainly not going to be a Frankenstein's monster. All fits with the era and brand I think.

One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.
