i would like to finish one half of the builds on my list this year.

i picked up a project 1985 fat chance kicker with a box crown fork last month. so i will be watching what you do with this one. looking for pointers. happy new year.

great job on all the granite.

does stuff you bought for yourself count if it was bought with cash that was a christmas gift?

looks awesome. i have been privileged to see this one in the flesh. the paint is amazing.

is this the hanger you are after...

i wouldn't get too carried away patting myself on the back. you're starting to make the youtube comments sound like truths. if i were you i'd let sleeping dogs lie.

HA HA paul's facial expressions and tone are hilarious. loved the spirit level comments. looking forward to seeing the alternate stem choice.

and what did paul say about it?

awesome job. :cool:

here's warhorse's original posting of this bike. i just stumbled on it again. i have decals for it now. will get them on eventually. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1986-brodie-115.461499/

cool to see another one come up. mine had a horribly stuck seat post which a buddy got out for me just this year. but it's been so long that i have misplaced numerous parts. such as the bottom bracket. i will be watching you rebuild with interest.

thanks for the input. would like to see pictures of these early derailleurs mounted on vintage mountain bikes. i am leaning towards going with 6 speed 14t-28t rear with 46t-36t-26t front. non-indexed suntour shifters. see any snags so far? this is the front derailleur i'd like to use. can it do...

this sort of thing.

hi how many of you out there have used early shimano 500 or 600 road front and rear derailleurs on mountain bikes? long cage or short cage rears? with how many speeds? with early suntour shifters? did you have triple rings up front? could you post up pictures in action here plus comments. i am...

it think i have the last one built. it was paul's bike. he thought he should build himself one before he sold control. he called me up one day and asked if i was interested in buying it. i seem to recall him saying it was the last one built. it is serial #4031. i will ask him. built in 1996 is...

love that little webbing detail between the seat stays.
