Less Columbo more...

 I stood on the toilet to hang a clock , slipped and hit my head on the sink and came up with this.




I spoke to a frame builder last night , he said leave the frame as it is , braces will be like adding a band-aid, if it's going to break nothing will stop it.
For my riding it should last forever so enjoy it.
I'll take it out for long run when I get all the team parts bolted to it.
If it breaks this will be the face , more worried about Allenchromes lovely nickel finish.

I agree with what you say about the frame needing to have a certain amount of flex.

I also agree with the frame builder, if it's going to break nothing will stop it.

I reckon it's time to stop worrying and look start looking forward to the finished product.

The last sentence just about made sense.   

You got what I meant anyways

You are never gonna ride it in anger, don't worry, when I was a lad, loads of fat kids had grifters and never broke `em!!

Some progress today, cleaned the OG grips, they were really dirty, with vanish gold, one scoop in warm water and an electric tooth and they came up like new. Afterwards made sure to fit a new head to the missus's tooth brush
 Fitted silver chain ring, MKS BM-1's, silver lever parts to match the original shimano lever, mongoose gold stem fitted, headset fitted, also seat post , clamp and 79 prism decals fitted.
Widened the bars from 23" to 26"
Just need to bleed the brake, fit shimano dura ace cable clamps and do a small adjustment to the rear wheel/chain alignment.

I was tempted to have the wheel rims anodised blue but that would mean stripping the wheels again, I may do this at a later date.
