Sweet- the white graphics on the green really works well and the chrome add the Va Va Voom

Cheers Spud, I think so to....

The afore mentioned EX600 uniglide chain turned out to be a UG50..... ah well never mind, the search continues.

Best get on with polishing bolts I guess.... :|

More shiny arrived today....


Does anyone know when these Shimano “one key” axle bolts first came out? :?:

looong time ago, I'm sure they were a DA or 600AX sort of thing. You'd need to trawl the catalogs

Last bits arrived to finish off the Canyon…
A couple of shiny items fresh out the box so no bloody cleaning required!
A Shimano 600EX CN-6208 116L Uniglide narrow chain & a Shimano SM-DG11 derailleur guard
Final weigh-in…. a healthy 29lb 8oz… Daddy’s very proud of his new arrival.

Spec sheet & photos to follow.. BTW you may have noticed that the catalogue went out the window.. well it was getting bloody tedious, so I decided to go down the route of full bling up-grade.
All the kit pretty much hits the spot date wise, ranging from 1983 to ’87, with perhaps the exception of the tyres & saddle (& of course the cables)

Corking build to be sure .... the green and silver compliment rather than compete against each other in the bling


Geometry wise it screams the 1980’s at you
