Hey Carge that's a great build; it's looking great. I am glad the frame went to you, you've done a wonderful job.

@2manyoranges Thanks for giving me the opportunity - given it is 0020, I figured it needed a bit of respect.

I had the Wolber wheels and while looking at the '93 RM catalogue, saw they had these on the Ti-Bolt, so I thought they'd be appropriate here.
I'm pleased with my home sprayed Mag21 - it's a pretty good match given no-one has the paint codes.

I'd better update the parts list

Looks awesome. Really digging the Bontrager livery lately. Had a chance to ride this bike yet?

Lovely that quick question what BB axle length does the bonti race need bud, have just finished the paint on mine so will be building it up soon and no old BB to check

 

[slackboy]

BB axle length does

Mine is 68mm shell and 107mm axle

 

[Tedgey]

Mine is 68mm shell and 107mm axle

Ahh nice thankyou... a bit smaller than i expected

 

[Carge]

Surely the axle length depends on the cranks?
