Parts search continues

Re:
little bit of an update
parts search has paid off, got a choice of 2 stems and managed to source the black deore II groupset thanks to many people on here and the old ebay.
bars & stem = got a nice tange prestige handlebar and T-bone stem :mrgreen: for an aggressive riding position and a marin lite with a roller for if I choose a more comfortable riding position. I know I really wanted a roller stem but after reading the mbuk article on the pioneer I could see they used the T-bone so I consider it an acceptable option for the build

Re: Overbury's Pioneer 1988
Will certainly bare this in mind LGF, it is an option for if I go the earlier 18speed & 4 finger lever on its ass.
I managed to spray the comp ones up at the weekend but cant quite figure out how to get the white detail into the lettering, other than that they look great , picked up a pair of deore II hubs in black laced to Wolbers which I thought was going to be hard to find and a 1" headset thanks to Adrian, black deore U brake frm the bay....... we are flying
the parts collection so far.....
I have finally committed to a colour so off it went to paint yesterday, it'll be back in a couple of weeks - no going back now!

Re: Overbury's Pioneer 1988
Can't see from your pic what the bolts are like for the pedals but if they're a bit rusty you can pick up enough stainless ones to do both pedals on eBay for about £1.50 posted.
