Mr postie dropped this off for me....



Another part of the puzzle

And the correct wheel set too

Deore LX m560 on bontrager rims with the ritchey megabyte 2.1 wide tyres. The test team thought these were a bit wide for the frame so..... We'll find out soon enough I imagine

Impressive paintwork

What's the difference between the bees neez and the cats wiskas? I noticed this pic in the old archive;

 

[retrobikeguy]

I believe the cats was 753 tubing throughout with a fillet brazed wishbone stays, it was aimed at the dogs bolx market with the option of them new fangled disc brakes.

Small movements, frame has gone off to get the paint removed so I can get busy with the rattle can fades when the weather is better. Meanwhile here are more of the correct parts I have been gathering.

Yellow splatter water bottle cages



Rolls saddle in yellow



And the Deore DX drivetrain, the push push sti shifters, long cage rear derailleur and bottom pull front derailleur. So cool to find a set of shifters with all the top decals in place
