Can see where you're going with this build Dan. Black with chrome/silver bits will look sweet when it's done but still look's tidy with the black wheel set.

I like the wheels, black chain ring n pedals would look spot on

Spence, you don't know how much I would piss a fellow RADster and one of my best buddies off, if I changed these pedals.

You won't piss him off, he knows how builds evolve

I hear he has some black SX 1/2"

Lovely as always

A few bits went on tonight, lever, cable, caliper and blocks, the pads arrived today too, so they went on. I'll be getting a chain for it after work tomorrow.

I've a TechIV coming for it, and the chain as mentioned, and the wheels will be built up eventually too.

great build - I love the simplicity of race bikes, this looks so much cleaner than my freestylers.

Looks sweet Dan. Like the yellow donuts... nice touch.

Cheers Joffy, yep we took some dust in our lungs from the trails, woodland paths and canal paths threw up.

The bike got sorted as soon as i arrived home on Sunday, Nothing that a light spray with the hose pipe and a wipe couldn't fix.

Cheers mate, yeah a plate is on the list I reckon. Also need to get the wheels that were intended for it built, have some nice polished hubs off Snav for them.
