Goose on a budjet
« on: February 05, 2006, 07:24 AM »
Before I start: Sorry to the goose purists and era correct dudes

As I mentioned on a previous post (Trident bars) Her-indoors is making me clean out the garage and bin lots of crap. So taking some advice from several RAD members. I decided the best way to get rid of the old parts was to build a new bike. Being skint after Xmas I blew the whole budjet for this build on the F+F.

Seems that I have lost half my post some where?


Before I start: Sorry to the goose purists and era correct dudes

As I mentioned on a previous post (Trident bars) Her-indoors is making me clean out the garage and bin lots of crap. So taking some advice from several RAD members. I decided the best way to get rid of the old parts was to build a new bike. Being skint after Xmas I blew the whole budjet for this build on the F+F.



Here is where I'm up to
Recycled parts. (all were very scaby)

MX1000 (were blue de-anodised and polished)
Tech 2 levers (were blue de-anodised and polished)
Suntour stem (was yellow de-anodised and polished)
Trident bars  (recycled)
seat post (recycled0
Chain wheel (was blue de-anodised and polished) not yet on bike
spider (recycled)
had seat clamp
BB (recyled0

Parts bought

Wheels from ebay off a RAD member 48 quid
tyres Halfords bargain bucket 3 quid each
Kashimax MX 30 quid
Dia-compe cables 6 quid each

Parts on order
grips
pedals
crank










This build has been far more enjoyable than the last. Being restricted by money and the parts I had, has meant I have had to put a bit of time and effort in to getting the parts to look semi decent. It's far better than just buying off the shelf and sticking them on.


As always your opinions good or bad are very welcome

Nice one Flake - that's looking good!

You don't have to always worry about being era-correct - just build for yourself and enjoy.  :daumenhoch:

i like it, I may still be drunk, but are you sure that thems is tech 2's?

and for the record, it is VERY rare for me to use anything NOS on any of my bikes, restoration is so much more fun and cost effective.

Buying off the shelf is cack, boring and too easy.

nice build flaz, looks tidy. Budget has nothing to do with quality. I like it. Restoration is accomplishment. Anybody can buy new bits. I like to restore stuff, gives me a sense of having actually done somthing other than assemble.
