They're the forks I mentioned, don't they look lush on there :daumenhoch:
Liking the motomag decal's, perfect choice not making it something it isn't.

Made a little progress on this build last night with some help with my apprentice Phil Sawzall - keep an eye out for him as I think he has potential  :LolLolLolLol:

Minty fresh, never seen a brake, steel hub Skyways added



Wrapped in NOS fat/thin Comp 2s



79 Mongoose stamped crank, Mongoose BB, rare gold Mongoose stamped 130 BCD spider with equally hard to find 39T chainring and Mongoose pedals fitted



Frame re-decaled with Motomag set, Bottema M1s and the story so far....



Gold stem is being refinished and Phil has my SS bars and post for polishing  :4_17_5:

I've actually done quite a lot Steve

Phil kindly polished my SS bars and Maurice stamped seat post.  I landed a mint yellow Goose seat from Jono and I got my gold stem refinished  :smitten:



Just a case of getting some sunny pics now  :)

I sent it to Premier Plating who are on the other side of town in Walthamstow. http://www.premierplatingworks.co.uk/index.php#focusPoint

They stripped the brass, refinished and polished it to an incredibly high standard.

The only downside is the price £75+VAT as they have a minimum charge. I got lucky and got it done for free but only because they sent me the wrong part and needed it back urgently which I sorted whilst overseas (it was complicated). Besides all that they received the stem on a Monday and it was back Friday.

Pretty serious these days but not that uncommon a sight BITD.  Love the example you've shared.

Finally got around to finishing this at the weekend and taking some pics this afternoon as the light was perfect.

I'm really pleased with the outcome, I hope you like it
