Spent last night relacing the front wheel and when taking photos today I realised the rim is the wrong way round.. classic late night lack of concentration antics. Reused the spokes but they are plain gauge so will get some double butted before xmas and get it relaced when its quiet.
Sanded back the burnt or overly rusty sections of the frame and loved the bubble effect thats been left after burning out the seatpost. I'm quite keen to see if I can get this over more parts of the frame. I was also given some Black Slate patination spray and tested it out on the seat and top tube along with some of the fork which has def worked well. Has a bit more of a uniform feel.
Currently on the lookout for some carbon flat mtb bars of a similar vintage but in the meantime have some Bontrager Ti flat bars coming in the post. Hopefully get the cable stop and tube brazed onto the stem next week too. Also undecided on tyres, found some slicks in the spare tyre section but think they are too narrow..?
