Quick tinker today, getting close to boxing this off now, just the chain and rear cable to fit, make final adjustments and tighten everything up.

So today, I fitted rim strips, only remembered when I saw Sams whodunit thread.

I sourced the Sugino 44t chainring from my chrome DP, and fitted it to the rechromed Sugino 1 piece from my Old Street Beat, with some black anodised bolts.

The Tange BB is also from the Beat, and some NOS KKT pedals complete the drive section parts. Had a nervous moment when the chainring teeth were hitting the chainstay, but trued up with a few mm to spare when the BB was tightened up.

Here's the latest pics...

Looking fucking ace Dan!

I want it!! So whats the cost of the whole build if you dont mind me asking?

KeithyT · « **Reply #43 on:** February 17, 2013, 01:49 PM »

Looking lovely that Dan. Glad you found a chainring from somewhere. Black bits with chrome all looks rather classy.

Cheers Rich,

funny you should ask, I've just been working out the cost of the build, and considering the seat, rims, brakes and tyres are all repop, it still adds up to around £800. But to me, the money's not a factor, I can waste that money in the pub quicker.

This was ace to ride earlier.

thats a thing of beauty!

You guys build some cracking bikes!!

I was a chrome-red fan, but this chrome-black look is taking over the more I look around the build threads on here

I was surprised Julian about how nice it was to ride, thought it was just gonna be like riding my Goose, can't put my finger on it, it just felt better - must be the bars?
