Got to love a blue Performer but sort out that seat clamp! It should be at the top of the tube!

Fitted the crank and chainwheel today and put the hutch mags on to see what it will look like :daumenhoch:

I did leave the beaaring cups in for the powder as I am a lazy bastardo, plus is probably not going to get ridden :-[ I dont want to shift the seatclamp as it might mark the powder, so it will have to stay where it is unfortunatly :)
Its going to have a lot of different makes on this build so far, I have hutch, Odyssey, tioga, dia compe, GT and Skyway, it wasnt intentional, I was just watching my budget and these were the parts that came up cheap :daumenhoch:

I know about the decals, but they were cheap from the states at £15 all up and they were original and not repo's. Also del couldn't help me out this time, and didnt want to pay the £50 that ultrahive was charging ;) I am i tight arse and am always looking for ways to save if possible :) Its made me realise and admire how much effort, time and money goes into some of the buids on here, which end up being era correct or factory spec ect, dont think I could manage that just yet :daumenhoch:

Considering you have been watching the budget,it is looking the nuts.man,you HAVE to move the seatclamp whatever.I'd rather have the clamp in the correct place and a couple of light scratches than where it is,i don't mean to be rude but it looks a little silly that far down.maybe lube it up with some fairy?and slide it up :daumenhoch:

Finished it up today just need pedals and a chain and a new bike pump ::) I owe a lot to you radsters, who helped me out with tyres, frame standers, chainring, calipers, bars and seat. The rest was off the museum :daumenhoch:



Thanks for looking :)
