I still can't believe it but i really found a matching single pedal. I was very close to giving up the search and simply buy a complete pair for crazy money.
It's like Wyclef Jean said: "The good things come to those who wait."
I'm really happy today. :)
So there is only one piece missing. ➡️ The seatpost.

Love is...
...when your girlfriend buys you a seatpost for your birthday. :D
So now i am the proud owner of a TAQ 33 aluminum patent seatpost.

I have also bought a Ritchey Vector Plus Rail saddle a while ago which looks superbe..at least to me.

Since there were no parts missing i spent the whole night with stuff like cable adjustment, missing tools, the idiots guide to set up a front mech and of course searching for all that little stuff that has to be somewhere around here like link wires and so on...

..and finally this build is finished. :cool:

It's raining outside but i gotta go now ride my bike :!:

Will do a complete list of the parts later..

Thx for the comments.

@Chris: It was a slow first try out ride. All the time i thought i had forgotten to tighten something and i was ready to take a free flight over the handlebar :)
But there is nothing else to report that the bike rides really well.
I was surprised that the shifting really works spot on.
The bike is doing fine..but i'm out of order..got a bad cold from riding in the rain. :roll:

More pics coming soon.
 
Marin

Looks fantastic
Ive got my old Bear Valley set up as a single speed uban assault type of thing but seeing yours might go for a full restoration :D
 
@blinky: It's nice to read that my bike inspires someone to do something else than to put on sunglasses. :)
