British Eagle K1 400 restoration

Little update - have gathered together most of the parts now to complete the build, have decided to upgrade the parts to deore and I’ve gone from black to silver components. I’m waiting on a front derailleur with the right clamp size.

I plan on going for yellow cables to match the decals and I think I’m going to go for the Schwalbe Billy bonkers tyres as the current tyres are totally shot. I’m currently restoring the stem and bars and giving them a respray, I’m on the hunt for some deore dx flat pedals for the build too.

All going well so far fingers crossed!
