I missed it at MK but have just spotted it over on the Museum - great to see it finally up and running and a bloody good job you did with it too!

What's the story behind that brake lever boot/cover?

Cheers bud 

I had my mind set on blue grips and weinmann levers but I couldn't find a blue grip with the right early look. I started looking at Preston petty hex grips as a solution but could only find red or yellow. In searching I stumbled on an old motorbike site that had the hex grips in black and the lever boot popped up as a possible add on in their suggestions banner. I found some Neil ones later but they looked a touch small on the large weinmanns.

Nice job on your build

Your "Vitus" frame is more likely a frame made of Vitus tubing sold under a different brand as in the road bikes world.

I used to ride a Sunn in 1984 with that kind of sticker but not those smoothed welds.
