This build has some fantastic custom touches, understated and classy. Self restraint is the achiles heel of any customizing and I think you've struck a perfect balance.
Genuinely excited about seeing the finished pictures! Good luck with it all!
Looking up the posts I seemed to have missed a few, but the dates corespond to when I have been out of the country etc
Thanks for the comments guys
There isn't much to report though
Everything is lined up ready to go but I still havnt found the forks I want :-( I have decided I will probably have to buy a full bike just to get the forks :-( but having made that decision I can't seem to find a full bike
If I had a choice I would also like some nos / top condition :
Black ringles (wheel set)
Xt thumbies (think this may be sorted now)
735 rear mech
But none of the above will stop me building, just them damn forks ...
At this rate I think the proflex might actually be done first :shock: it's much easier to source 'modern' bits cheap than find retro bits it's only missing wheels, cassette & headset ...
Maybe this fork is what you are looking for. Just saw it on the german ebay.
15 € buy it now. I would love to see your finished bike. So maybe this helps.
Cheers Adam
