I got mine from an eBay seller in Portugal, all I can say is they’re the wrong size and the wrong colour so I’m not going to recommend!
In update news, the build has started. Sees to be two steps forwards, one step back at the moment, however.
I fitted the original headset, then remembered I had binned the bearing races because they were trashed. I
it had a standard size upper race but an oversize lower that I can’t seem to find a replacement for, so for now, it has a new FSA headset for the sake of being able to build. I’m also not toooo fussed about it being all period correct.
I then discovered that when removing the WEDGED pivot bolt, I had damaged the thread on one side. So that had to come out to re-tap (I hope I can re tap - it’s 12.75mm diameter and a 2mm pitch. Will an M12 with 1.75mm pitch tap work? Watch this space).
Of course not having that fitted means work had to stop on the drivetrain - but that will give me time to properly clean the MRP device.
Anyway, a couple of ropey pics:
Abbey tools really are tremendous (I borrowed this from a friend)
The orange bar is from my parts bin (virtually brand new but looked awful on my Yeti!). I had thought it would be a good match with the forks but eehhhhhhh I’m not sure. Maybe black would be a smarter choice (and narrower). thoughts welcomed!
I love this part of the bike:
