Re:

Grip issues sorted now thanks

Really wanted dark blue. That's what I have now. In bar tape. Double wrap

Re: Re:

So, not much progress this weekend, :roll:

I polished up the stays that I'd painted, sadly too dark to get decent photos but I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Pics please !

That's just typical still not being able to find grips in dark blue but as long as the bar tape does the trick then i suppose that's all that matters eh! .

Yes the right colour indeed although to be honest white would of been the next color choice for grips .

Re:

Wednesday evening update,

Got the cables and replacement for the broken Sram Powerlink today :facepalm: So, time to start finishing the bike.
I decided on different brake levers, so fitted those along with the Avid V-Brakes. Used some lovely stainless bolts for the calipers, but 4mm as opposed to the usual 5mm allen key.



Also bolted on the XT front mech that actually goes where I want it to, without fouling bottle cage bosses :roll:



Apologies for poor photos :facepalm: Taken in the kitchen! I was actually holding a torch for the second one :shock:
The things I do for you lot!

Tomorrow, I hope to do the brake cables, and fit the chain. I tell Mrs Muz to hold off washing the floor!

Mike
