Getting this built up for the summer

,

It's a survivor 85(May) Sport (non knurled chainstay) f/fork's, i imported them from the State's about 2yr's ago. They've been sat up in the loft for a while now & seeing as i've nearly finished my last carpet queen i thought it best to get this built up for the summer

The f/forks have the odd few scratches & the dropouts have 'seen some action' over the yr's, but the chrome is in sweet condition

The tuff's are steel hubbed(coaster) dated 1979 & are in fantastic condition, all they need is aqua blasting & they'd be good enough for show......may get them done in the future. Gonna be going for a yellow/black combo with this, i have yellow DC cables, yellow izumi chain, black Dia Compe Nippon calipers with Tech5 levers. Probably gonna put some copy CW's i have on it & a straight fluted Haro s/post. Just looking out for some yellow h/bar grips & repop yellow kashi seat & a potts mod stem, then she'll be ready to roll

A big thank's to 'The Man' Del for sorting the custom decals out.......you're a star

Will add some more pic's when she's complete...........cheer's for looking. Buz

Yep, I like that, cool build.

That is a stunner mate, I toyed with the idea of yellow decals with mine last year, but wasn't brave enough, i'm glad you were as this is excellent.

Can't wait to see it fully built.

I've bought repop Kashi's off both these sellers...

this guy is cheapest and your seat will arrive within a week, really good, but I have to say, his yellow ones look a bit orangy in the pic, maybe that's just the light.

this guy, more expensive and takes about 6 weeks.

Well....the pub/summer rider is now finished(now that summer is over

), it took longer than planned as i now work in Europe for 2wk's at a time. It was gonna be a fairly budget build, but that soon went out the window

Parts list: Anlum Sport h/bars, GT(80's stamped) seat post, Kashimax aero seat, DC mx s/clamp(re-furbed), DC Nippon caliper & lever's(re-furbed), Sugino 1pc crank with Sugino c/wheel & spider, Shimano DX pedals(thanks to a Rad member), izumi yellow chain, NOS yellow tuff pads, Tioga btm bracket, Haro Group 1 h/bar stem(re-furbed), Kenda K55 freestyle tyres(same as Panaracers), Oakley F1 h/bar grips(thanks to a Rad member), & steel hubbed coaster Tuff 's(dated 79) could do with aqua blasting in the near future.

To really finish this off i need a full standard length DC yellow rear brake cable(even just an outer will do)........anybody

Also looking for a yellow Sharp bottom bracket boot chap's(if you know anybody)

A mahoooosive shout out to Del for making this build possible with his custom decals

Thank's for taking the time to stop by & having a look chap's
