Really coming on at pace this, and all the better for it.

I say leave the dink. Patina = good.

Re: cranks

What about these cranks.

Any one know where i could get them re-anodized.

These are what I am putting on mine. To my (untrained) posh crank eye they look more like the ones in some of the pics.

Great work on the resto Si - leave the dink I think.

Seriously... what an awesome project. Can't wait to see this done and dusted...

JMC - true legend and that bike is a real piece of history.

pics

Just got a pic from Gil_m after asking him if he had some decals.

Sheds more light on the spec..

He also forwarded this link to decals that may help.

If you copy that spec it'll save you sourcing the correct front tyre

Loving this thread, great attention to detail from Dr S as usual and a great resto of an absolutely iconic bike. Can't wait for the next installment

wow - what an enjoyable thread. And RS is so helpful - he even shows dead steaddy overview of his old batch productions. This thread is def on my follow list!

I have a old MBA with a testreport of the first alacarte - you need it? - I can scan it...

had to look twice at the pic of JMC on the bike before noticing the lack of front tyre!

WTF !!!!!! Why has he got no front tyre ???

WTF !!!!!! Why has he got no front tyre ???

From what i recal he was always getting punctures (he ran his tyre pressures hard to try and prevent them), i think during that race he got a puncture, fixed it, got another puncture then just threw the tyre and tube away

Dont think that front rim would have lasted long though.
