nice work doggy , it's going to be a slow burner this one and after thinning my collection a bit i am going for quality not quantity . i think the crank may be the only really expensive bit .

Good luck mate but as people have said, you better have a big wad of cash

i'm not going to be to anal about it , just as close as i can

Trickiest things to find are the tyres , the large flange Suntour precision hubs are'nt plentiful like the small flange and the seat .

Cranks are easy to find and come up pretty regular .

hi. Just done a factory Laserlite build and spent an absolute fortune  but it's well worth it.

A decent 400 flight crank is a must for a proper rebuild. Took me ages to find one and it was horrifically expensive but well worth it. Hardest parts to find are the Elina Aero Turbo seat, OGK Cobea grips, IRC gyres and high flange sealed suntour hubs. If you ever want to finish it choose alternate parts and buy the right ones to replace them when they come up. 

Southern Andy pointed my thread out and I tried to put as much info about suppliers as possible. Be prepared for big money if you want a mint one. Bodamus, Kuwahero and Frosty are aweslth of information on Laserlites. Well worth a PM if you get stuck.

Good luck mate. Great choice in bikes. I know HLT's are the "ultimate" build but Laserlites in my opinion are by far the best racer and you will have one very cool build at the end if it. Keep us updated with progress. Kaner is building one at the moment as well so he might be able to help.

God. Just read that back. Sorry for the spelling but I'm in London, drunk and typing on my iPhone. Just got back from the pub and was served by the girl that plays Sarah in Hollyoaks!!

as far as exact parts go , like you said seat , grips and hubs will be killer to find so they will be replaced with a lightning bolt seat and kuwi grips ( both of which i prefer the look of ) and unsealed hubs until i find the right ones for the right money. as for cranks , how much did you pay ? it's going to be a long term project this so i am in no rush to find parts . that one of yours is a beauty by the way .

Hello Mate

Good luck with it, its a great bike.

I am doing the same type of build as you, e.g. not getting too upset if it isn't 100% factory spec but getting as close to it as I can.

Here is the link to the one I am doing.

Everyone on here has been a great help with parts and a great fountain of knowledge.  I'm about 1/2 way through mine, its great fun and such a gorgeous bike and has already consumed a LOT of money and I still haven't even got the crank yet.  Saying that I think I only need the crank, stem, chain, brake cable, spider, chain ring bolts and I will be ready to roll.

My poor poor bank account!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
