1988 Fat Chance Wicked

[jinjrich]

Hey! looking really nice already! I bet the contrast with the black fork will show more when the black decals are applied. I have seen a similar one here before in this color combo and it's just ace in my view.

Thank-you. I've yet to order decals, thanks for the reminder!
I'm not sure on cockpit setup, the stem is left over from another project and I'll chuck some risers on there to start, I'll then start looking for something a bit more in keeping with the frameset, but hopefully still giving me a slightly more upright position.

Currently stored away for the new year when hopefully a stem will have turned up! Decals went on lovely as usual, cheers Gil!

Where did you get this decal set. I cant seem to find a nice version of the stickers on the seat tube, which you seem to have found.

Btw I will post updates on my Orange wicked over the christmas holidays when I have time to work on it again.

A little custom filing and this condor seat clamp fits like a dream !

Couple more bits done. The original BB bearings are a bit ratty but smooth so I'll use them until my SRP order arrives. The home made press never let's me down! Also riveted on the BB cable guide.

Mystery stem has arrived! Pretty happy with it. Just a little refurb to do on it before I fit it.

Getting there. Just a few details to sort out. I serviced and fitted my m900 wheels and fitted the stem and bars. I'm still in two minds whether or not to repaint the stem....

I would repaint the stem. The frame and fork are so fresh a chipped up stem kinda looks off IMHO. Otherwise great looking build thus far!

Definitely leaning that way. Thanks for the comment!
