OK, a little bit of movement
I had been looking for a ti use post but seemed to be struggling
So as not to delay the build any more (is that possible :shock:
) I have temporarily ‘borrowed’ the one of my mums orange, nice and original :
So the purists out there will be pleased to know that that the sticker has now gone and it has been partially polished (and deburred - why didnt it come like that ? :? ) along with a few other items :
The idea being that I can now blast them and then remove the stickers to reveal the logos polished into the ti, I am not sure if it will work but as I have posted pictures of my plans then I cant get out of it if it doesn’t
The other items are the Ti flex stem and Ti Kolo bar ends :
The stickers came via ‘Benandemu’ and I collected them on Saturday (had a good look at his very cool MK1 golf to
) :
I am very happy with the final quality, the only thing I wasn’t happy with was my choice of color, I thought silver would look best (hence the order for the repo’s) but after putting them next to the bike then I have now changed my mind to black
This means that the original stickers I got from Marin BITD will (have
) been used – I am only building this thing once …
Fair comments about the pedals
I was looking for some nice XT bear traps (and specialized clips) but the prices they go for are ridiculous :shock: I also wanted to convert to SPD so seeing as my build isn't exactly 'pure' retro I ‘might’ just try them …
