Holding post whilst I sort a few things out but after 14 years on RB this may be my favourite build to date - one with a bit of history (to me).

No disc tabs have been used in this build

The photo of "postit face" is a photograph of a photo that I cannot find the original of taken in my M&D's garden in ~1994 IIRC.

I had an ‘89 model, one of my favourite bikes ever.

Is it me or has it got 2 sets of rear brake bosses, one on the seat stays and one on the chain stays?

 

[letmetalktomark]

It has indeed!

There is a story about that that I will go into when I’m a bit more organised.

Last few pieces of the puzzle are now starting to come together …… seatpost (26.4) and handlebar and we’ll reet

Soooooo nearly 3 years on from my last post ( ) and I finally have a complete box of bits I think I’m happy with …

I’m not sure I’m going to use it but this arrived this week - made by WI IIRC - really nice piece of kit.

Roll on longer, lighter, warmer evenings and a spare few minutes
