Hey guys appreciate the consensus on the V bars I prefer them as well, its period and suits it!
The CW might have made it younger by two years kinda like a face lift
Working on the small stuff at the moment the Pedals are from Germany and it was just raw Alu, some places unfinished, but Dremel sorted out the rough Alu. I decided I like the DX style 1/2" as its essentially what I was using since 11 wide and reliable.
They got an undercoat and Blue that’s actually nice with a final tough top coat.
The bear traps are in rough shape needs small screws as they had blown out and took an age to remove them, but apparently my colour coded screws have been lost in the post so had to buy again and also the bearings are incomplete ordered a range as I don’t know the size that’s actually should be in them. Feels like catching spindles due to the missing bearings or they are bunching up because they are too small? Either way a Range of bearings have been ordered for refurb.
I've got my bro who gave me the bike is coming down, and he has to come down to fit the chain, then stickers.
It’s a tradition we made up many years as kids, probably because he had the tools
Reflector rear still waiting to arrive, mounting bracket all polished up.

Hope you guys enjoyed it? I have..
