Few updates on the bontrager. The RC36's have been sold to fund a new set of Hope E4 brakes for my FS bike.
I replaced them pair of judy's I got from ebay that had a 1" ahead steerer. Whilst I was figuring out whether to get threads cut or change the whole bike to ahead a Bontrager Judy crown came on ebay too so I snaffled that and sold my ahead crown to jez-4-bikes.
I was lucky with the judys as although they looked unloved, the internals were in excellent condition with the elastomers still intact. After a strip down and re-build they actually feel pretty good.
I've also decided to move back to cantilever brakes - which was the reason for getting the judy's in the first place. I've put some black LX ones on for the time being but am not sure if it would be better with silver.
Anyway, here is it, still to be cabled up but geting closer original spec.
