1991 Lightning Flash Restoration JB0090

Definitely a fine looking stem, fillet brazed and all. What is the story on the maker? I'm not sure I've seen one of those before

The stem is a Nitto that came off a Kuwahara Mondia Competition. Fillet brazed with integrated cable noodle like the Breezer would have been.

A nice bike in it's own right with some nice parts, I really dig that Rolls saddle

Well I’ve never worked with water slides before and I was a little apprehensive but love em. They went on easily and i was able to position them exactly as I wanted them.

Well progress is slow over the summer but things are happening. I’m awaiting a new BB-UN72 68x122 to arrive so I can fir the Ritchey crankset. The fork is cured and mounted. Now patiently searching for Ritchey cantilever brakes and levers. I’ve put the specialized cranks on it to get a feel for what the bike will be like and I can already tell how special it will be.

Looking great, especially like how the fork turned out.

Vancouver CL has a very inexpensive set of one Logic calipers for $25

Yup got em coming lol

New BB arrived from Serbia 123mm shaft will allow the Logic crankset to be installed. Another piece of the puzzle

Cool frame you got there! And a fine build.

Yup got em coming lol

But one question on those Ritchey Logic brakes:
How do you adjust the tension on those?
As far as I know they come without grub screws to set spring tension. Only the WCS version had those.
I might be wrong, though.
I had a set of those brakes but never managed to adjust them properly.
