Wow

Re:

I remember seeing one of these at Epping forest dripping with 3DV in the early 90s. It was certainly a crowd pleaser

Now we're talking. And if you don't ride this one hard, I'm popping over for a spin even if she's too small for me ;-)

Re:

More parts sourced.

This time lots of NOS anodised black Ringle...

Ringle Zooka stem, 0 deg rise, 130mm (thank you GT Retro Tech Shop)
Ringle H2O bottle cage
Ringle Super Bubba 32h
Ringle Moby 27.2mm
Ringle Holey Titanium QR's
Ringle Holey seat clamp
Ringle Anti-Chain Suck device

Next up was getting the front wheel built. Back in the day I loved and ran snowflaked wheels with no issues at all...I know they're marmite, but I loved them and this is my build. Having already sourced a NOS 32h Ringle Super Bubba hub I then managed to source a NOS 32h Mavic M231 SUP CD hard anodised grey rim to match the one on my DD Pro. As I am having this build with anodised black parts I went with silver spokes and anodised black nipples. This wheel was built at my friends shop Brink Cycleworks...

Hopefully it will turn out nice.
