It’s been almost a year so thought I’d give an update: 1) Only one change since the initial build which is a set of larger rise bars (35mm rise, 9 deg sweep). This is just to help my back 2) Rear wheel hasn’t stood up to the abuse that well.. regular truing and spoke tension checks needed...

Nope it’s still in my spares box somewhere! (I’ll just need to find it)… Yours if you want it for £15 posted per original advert :)

Excited for this build and amazed your Kona SDG saddle is still in good shape 😂 (mine is cracked and looking rather sad) I didn’t realise ISIS stuff had got so expensive either! 😬

All yours buddy. PM inbound

For me the Conti Vertical Pro is my go to tyre for my 26" retro bikes....

All built up and finished.. Didn't get many pictures of the building process as was done Ad Hoc in the front room while waiting for parts to arrive. Surprisingly comfortable riding position using a narrow ish riser bar. Looking forward to giving it a shakedown this weekend..

Nice build and I've found the Muc Off sealant to be great so hope you have the same experience :)

Update: Fitted a new Ritchey Headset and got myself a rolling chassis. Shimano UN52 bottom bracket that came with the bike was just cleaned up and refitted. I've got some new wheels as wanted to run 8 speed as had a few Shimano Alivio/Accra parts lurking off an old Kona Stuff. Whilst they...

To be fair if I was travelling into Exeter more regularly as I did pre-Rona I’d have had a word. I’ll sort it when I’m short of bike fettling :) I did give them a drawing with my masking requirement but I think this isn’t their first rodeo. Most of their work seems to be motorbike and motoX...

Indeed it is a bit of the old paint :(

So I got some pictures of the powder coat in the day light. Masking is very good with no coating in any threads/bores and only the odd bit of grit caught in larger threads. Cost £70 for frame and fork. I had cheaper quotes elsewhere but mentions of masking wasn't well received. Full disclosure...

Re: Good looking build so far... Gotta love the auto parts washer too :lol:

Re: Cheers! It was oddly satisfying to do too! Update: bike is back from powder coat and looks good job. I’ll post some pictures soon outside as inside pictures don’t do it justice.

Re: cheers for the interest and have answers to your queries and a little update.. as a treat :P The frame is being coated RAL 7016 (Anthracite grey) by 1st Choice Exeter, so i will let you all know how that goes. I did a little working over the cranks with wet and dry. Worked through up to...

Hi All New to the forum but thought i would share my Raleigh Mtrax (Exact age and model unknown thanks to worn decals - any pointers welcome) Picture shows how it arrived after a hard life as the commuter and occasional off roader for a roadie friend. First time I've encountered a worn out...

Really cool build. Nicely done!
