hi all
time for a bit of an update. have picked up a few items for the brodie build. it has been decided to redo how it was originally found. no more suntour talk.
i now have nos deore dx hubs and araya rm-20 rims. will look into getting them built soon. will be replacing the old bottom bracket with a sealed xt unit i found in local shop. bit of an upgrade. will be the last bottom bracket this bike will ever need in my possesion. and a tange levin headset, exact nos to the one pulled from it.
that's it so far.

hi
parts coming fast and furious now. here we have nos deore cranks and front brakes. and really happy about a period correct brodie handlebar. bar has a few scratches but really good for a 20 year old bar.
i might consider starting to put it together soon.

2 thumbs up on this! I used Toxik Harald as well, but he couldn't source the NOS decals I wanted. The ones I got were close enough, but not the real deal. Your frame looks spectacular!
