[Chilli Rinse]

I bought this cool French full CrMo frame set bundle on eBay in January. It arrived in og survivor condition from Den Haag in the Netherlands. Nice og chrome, faded og paint, og decals. The bundle consisted of, Frame, Forks, Bars, x 6 Spinner Pegs & Rotor Cup.

1987 Star Way Freemaster Formule Pro
(The Fruit Salad Build)

Star Way - 1987 Freemaster Frame, Forks & Bars.
Soapy wash on the paint, 00 wire wool rub on the chrome, then buffed.
Tioga - New Bear Trap 2 Headset.
I had trouble with the 80's headsets I had so bought new.
Dia-Compe - Nos Tech 4  Levers - 87.
Nice find with the adjusters.
ACS - Used Pro Rotor, New Lower Cable & Nos Clarks Power Glide Outer.
Bought for the cup on another build. Stripped and cleaned.
ODI - Used Tec-7 Grips.
These were filthy, came up well but still have stains.
ACS - Used 55 Slant Stem.
I was contacted by the seller of the frame set, a deal was struck, this build needed this stem as it was stock on this bike.
Dia-Compe - Nos 750 Rear Brake, OG Straddle & Saddle - 83.
I had a Weinmann but then this popped up for sale.
Dia-Compe - Used 883 Nippon Front - 85 & 87 Arms.
Stripped, cleaned and added a better spring and nylon spacer.
Kool Stop - New Continental Brake Blocks.
Another eBay bargain.
Weinmann - Nos Freestyle Semi Auto Adjuster.
Another eBay bargain from the US.

These came on my Peugeot Free Form and were the only cables I had that ran through the Potts mod stem bolt.

I had these in the cave.

This came with the Pro Class wheel set.
Tange - Used BB220 Bottom Bracket.
Another eBay bargain that needed a vinegar bath.
Sugino - Used 175x24 CrMo Crank.
Another eBay bargain, it was a gamble as they had been returned to the seller because of bad threads. They were fine, result.

White spirit degrease and soapy wash on this.
Izumi  - Used Chain.
Taken off of my Sjappi, cleaned and oiled.

Another must for this build as it was stock on the bike.

Thanks Carl, she turned out better than expected. I was going with a DynaMax until I found the Rock n Roll 

[Chilli Rinse]

I was lucky enough to find a copy of Bicross Magazine #60 from September 1987, which has a test review of the bike 
It's in French so I will need to translate it
