I have a possible explanation. How many of these lines can you read?

any chance of some more pics especially the frame tubing decal. i have a montare frame and forks ready for paint. im going to paint it the 88 procaliber colours.
how tight is the bb axle in the inside of the bearings? could you move it out of the bearings by hand?

Here you can find more pics of the build and the decals! http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... ?p=1035742

You can move the axle out of the bearings by hand! You'll need some force, but it can move! New bearing are easy to find (I think it's 6003 RS). Axles are very difficult to find. I have some spare NOS axles available!

oh wow, yes my axle is loose in the new bearings, i would love to get a new axle from you if you can give me a price to the uk.
this is all i need to start the build! i had pretty much given up hope on getting an axle

You can see the axles and bearing in the build thread of my MtTam: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=130843

Still not finished ......

I'll send you a price this evening!
