We all know how hard to get these gems are.

Story:

This was hanging behind the window of an old bike store in Amsterdam ! Found it in december last year.



Once home I've matched some nos CW forks I had in my spares.







Serial# CZ1991

After waiting at least 3 months to built this gem I finally started last week to give it some attention. I guess the summer feeling  :daumenhoch:
Collected old used parts from my scrapheap and blew them back to life.

The TN Stem found like this

Before


After



The Dia Compe MX 1000 brake resto

Before


After



The wheels

Used 7x Arayas


De anodizing



Ready to polish them


Polished & ready to be laced



Lacing them with red nipples and Suzue red hubs




And I finished it today :
