here's my bits, i'm in no rush but on the look out for 44t tuf neck chainring before i can send my bits off to Dan for painting.
excuse the crappy phone piccies as my camera batteries died.

cleaned these up a bit but they will need a dip in the rit to bring em back

tuf neck

couldn't get the stem to go right down (think it's designed to run a spinmaster) so used a few washers

seems like quite a few beats on the go at the mo...........can't wait to see all yours built up guys, gotta love a nice beat

Thats looking very nice Pickle

pickle · « **Reply #54 on:** February 05, 2012, 04:13 PM »

are they all yours then? liking the look of the red one (with the GT spider) if it's yours do you have a price for the chainring on it's own? as wouldn't want the spider

Al Wyn · « **Reply #55 on:** February 05, 2012, 05:06 PM »

Not mine bud sorry

Slowed down a bit on this now but for all good reasons, my stam is with Dan as I write this, my Tange BB went to Chromefix in the post today, I decided to do this as they did such a nice job of the crank that I thought that it wouldn't be right not to give the BB the same treatment.

Still waiting for my mate to bring his grinder down to cut my axles.

But did fit the spankin' top nut to the headset that Rob kindly donated, Cheers Rob

...

...and also fitted the Skyway decal to the bars - Ruffell stylee, also the A'me's...

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #58 on:** February 12, 2012, 05:02 PM »

A little bit of progress today.

Dan sent back the SR stem which he's done another superb job powdering

after my mate in the Engineering Shop at work had drilled it to accept the drilled stem, bolt I bought off Kappy.

Sorry about the pic quality, off my phone, indoors.

Looking good Dan!! Can't get enough of a nice beat

Sweet Dan

So many bikes I want to build and this is one of them

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #62 on:** February 14, 2012, 01:47 PM »

...so my mate Dave eventually came around with his grinder to cut down the monsterous axles, so I then got the Dremel (sorry Ed) out to add the flat spots to them so that the forks could take the front wheel...

..also, The Postie arrived with a little parcel from Dave (brummie) with the gratis Skyway decal he donated - cheers Dave

...so it's now starting to look even more like a proper bike...

...couldn't wait to fit these either, Scotty's custom valve caps with chrome and orange 'S's'..

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #63 on:** February 14, 2012, 01:49 PM »

NB - yeah I know the back wheel's on the wrong way round, this is just a loose build for now.

deeman · « **Reply #64 on:** February 14, 2012, 02:23 PM »

Looks beautiful Dan,the valve caps are the nuts!

glenboy · « **Reply #65 on:** February 14, 2012, 02:27 PM »

The Performer I just got was going to be the rider for Hereford mate, but I may have to duck out it as my mate's 40th is on that day, he just announced it this week, bit gutted reall, missing the BurnerBash also.
