I think I am finally ready to build this now  :)

Not sure whether to use the black DK seat clamp or the NOS blue Tuf Neck  ???

I would also like a blue left hand Tech 3 lever as I cannot use the right as a rear  :D   ;D

Well guys, I finally spent the morning putting this one together. I was waiting for a couple of things to finish it and have swapped out the NOS seat clamp, cable and lever for other options.

Now I know there is a 'thing' about TA's and what wheels really suit them most and, while I agree that a set of Tuff's do look right on these bikes, I also think spokes look right too, and this is the option I have decided to go with.

I hope you like the finished bike as much as I do and feel free to say what you like  :D   :daumenhoch:

Thank you  :)
