Re:

Small update at last on this one

Managed to find some of the parts I wanted to have spent a long time refurbishing the wheels I picked up from the U.S.

The wheels are Dia Compe Cronometro Mountain Attack's. I wanted something a bit different, from the U.S. obviously. I really wanted a set of Ringle straight pull hubs but there you go...got the Ringle Ti skewers though...

Other bits are: Grafton, levers, brakes, cranks, shifter pods (on the wrong way I know :facepalm. I have pedal cages but no pedals (anybody?!?)

Looking for some Smoke and Darts (I have the hardcore versions on at the moment but I don't think they will stay) and some chainrings, but note sure what to go for.

Other bits are all M900.

Would welcome comments and suggestions (especially for chainrings). The attached pics are only a very quick mock up and nothing is attached properly in anyway Seatpost is too high etc.. (just incase anybody is wondering)!

Thanks mate! It's taking a while and still a long way to go but wanted to put some kit in it to see if what was in my head works!

Do you think silver chainrings or black?

I'll take a couple of better pics tomorrow for you. They're basically NOS smoke and dart but the hardcore versions! They have slightly shallower but more rigid tread - I think :?

All black I think and you are right on the tires. The Dart HC Comp was the kevlar model of the HC. The Skin sidewall used the exposed brown tire casing for its sidewall and tested to a 64/A hardness. I'd keep them on but if you swap them out I'll take them.
