A couple of newer additions to my Leary turb'. With my other bits 'n' pieces going on i clean forgot about new parts added to her.

Firstly the set of D.b Turbo Dia compe 890's in gleaming chrome (thanx Andy - funmonster)

Then i finally managed to source a pair of immaculate nos chrome Araya 7x rims.
Laced to a nos set of sealed bearing chrome Suzue hubs (thanx Wolfy)

With a full set of nos chrome double butted spokes and nos long black nipples (thanx to Jo' - Biagio)

A pair of 20x1.75 rainbow logo Comp III's.
And finally an Izumi silver chain.
Basically up to full spec now. A couple of bits i want rechromed and i should be there with her.

No, not original. It's been coated up and re-decalled. Looks the part tho.

yep looking good can we see a full photo

The frame and fork set were already coated up etc when i bought them. I'm sure they had the turbo-lites treatment. All i know there's a lovely, blue tint lacquer covering the chrome. Tough too. I've knocked the coating more than a few times now and not even a glimmer of chrome showing.
I put this Turbo up against my other with original finish on it, and the match is kinda close. The original finish is a little darker and has the oily effect to it. I like this one the way it is tho, and don't think i'd recoat even when an excellent match for the original is sorted.

Grem, can you make inquiries as to what was used on the finish mate, theres a lot of non black chrome learys awaiting the treatment

Frosty · « **Reply #16 on:** May 28, 2007, 03:12 PM »

Thanx all. It's great to get positive feedback on the build. Here's a shot of the whole bike. Plus another closer shot.
Not the best of days to take pics outdoors. So will sort a load of nice pics, and get it into the Museum at some point soon.
