Thanks for the offer, I might have a crack at making some if nobody has a spare going begging. Cheers for the tip about the milk bottle - if I can heat up an old handlebar I could probably melt out a circle and go from there.

Like these though: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/374341749325?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=19tyid1LTQW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=mK-fOncFTvW&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY :cool:

I’ll post one up when I get home later.

No worries - thanks for looking. 👍

Hi, can anyone help? I need 1x of the plastic grip shift washers that go between the twist grip and handlebar grip so they don’t rub. I’m going to try grip shift on my Kona and I’ve found one in my spares but I need another. Just on the off chance someone has one knocking about?? Thanks in advance.

More small steps. Disassembled the rear cassette, cleaned and rebuilt it. Removed the Columbus decal which was tatty, a new ones on the way. Tried my M737 and M739 cranks, both are nice but think the 737’s look best.. Think I need to put tyres on and maybe a saddle so it looks a bit more...

Hi, cheers. Sorry but it was that long ago I don’t have a clue what I ended up fitting. I’d think a regular bmx bottom bracket would fit the shell and then axle length would depend on what cranks you’re using. The axle can be spaced out so not too critical - if in doubt go longer. Probably not...

A little bit of progress, I gave the frame a clean down and t cut before I start building it up. I was also having a browse through my spares wondering what sort of headset to use when I found this. A YST threaded in 1 1/8”, in good condition and needle bearing lower race. This came on a parts...

All finished, I was just waiting on bar tape and rear drop out screws - both now installed. Managed to sell the forks off the donor bike on eBay for £15 too so the parts bike was effectively free! Result. Just waiting on my friend to recover from a whiplash injury and then we’ll get out together...

DCD sold, everything else still available. :)

That looks well, good effort - especially for a parts bin type build, I like the saddle too. Interesting that yours has an ahead stem whereas mine is threaded. How does the rear brake work with that cable routing btw? I was debating putting v’s on mine but don’t like how those clamps that go...

Thanks for the offer - let me have a think about it. 👍

The middleburns are really nice, just not sure if I’d use them myself on anything I have, the headset is 1 1/8”.

Cheers Jon, I just couldn’t wait to make a start on it. It’s a lovely bike, I’m really pleased with it. Just glad the bb cup was plastic, I could have cut it out if needs be but luckily it did unscrew with a bit of care and patience. 👍

Take off parts from my Kona I’m building (check out my build thread!). Middleburns look very low mileage, minimal marks and wear, tapers are minty. £100 CK headset is 0miles, fitted but never ridden. £120 DCD some wear/tear but pretty good. £15 SOLD. G/shifters 3x8 srt 600’s, some wear. £8 Pair...

Some of you might recognise this bike: It’s the very same one that @jonjones262 offered for sale on here yesterday, just got back home after meeting Jon and picking it up (thanks Jon - great to meet you). I don’t really need another bike (sound familiar?) but couldn’t resist this one in my size...

Lovely, pm sent ;)

Thanks for clarifying what it is! Nice looking bike btw - love the colour. Mine has definitely been painted and the forks are definitely wrong. Cool that the dura ace headset is original to the bike, I wasn’t sure.

Better pic, agree - first digit is not clear, not stamped as deep as the others and right where the cable ran.

Maybe 155221?
