Unfortunately no I am on a lookout...

If you find the Judy first then a good painter will be able to match the frame to the fork for you

I know but as it seems right now the frame will be painted before the forks come up! We will see

Tires are here.
It is not retro but I just could not pass that lovely offer on Amazon.

While I am waiting for sandblasters and painters to come from vacations I got some color for the cranks and now I pronounce them finished:

This is my faveroute build thread on here ;-)

Have you tried fitting the splash backs ?

I couldn't get them on my Specielized rims .. Snapped a tyre leaver trying :-(

Resorted to using a flat blade screw driver but that was marking the rims !
I gave up in the end. Might try some paste used to fit car tyres at a later date ...

Oh thanks mate!

I haven't tried to fit splash backs, but I was planning on working on front wheel today so I will try and let you know how it went.

That paste should work, but also try it with soap; I used it with 100% success rate many many times back when I used to work in bikeshop.

Ahh, good idea maybe il try it with soap ! Let me know how you go on.

Really enjoy reading the thread and you are making fairly swift progress.

The best thing about being a newbie around here is the abundance of build threads I can read from start to finish without having to wait for updates

Just tried the splash backs and I was able to fit them using only my hands.
