84 Master.....She's Just About Done
« on: September 23, 2006, 02:30 PM »
Hi all

This has been a real test of patience and is finally built......but the L/H Blue Dia Compe lever is broken  :'(.

The bike has taken much longer than I ever thought was possible.

Nearly all items where seized, rusted and full dirt etc and had to be taken apart very slowly and cleaned, polished etc etc.

The Rotor was totally jammed, so had to be stripped and sleves removed, polished and sanded, the brakes were also locked up solid so had to be taken apart and all new parts fitted too.

I have come to the conclusion that metal fatigue and alloy are not a good thing to work with......and cabling it all up has taken hours and given me quite a few headaches, as this is the only RGD that I know of fitted to a bike, and I had nothing to work from.

 :D

However, after dozens and dozens of hours, with sore and dirty fingers, it's all done.

The pictures really do not do the bike justice, it looks so good in the metal!











Lever required (help please - used and abused is best!)



If anyone can help out with a lever, or know of one please make contact.

Thanks

J.

This is a Freestyle Bike, with the seat clamp in the best position for getting around the bike for flatland, including framestands, cherry pickers etc.....
