At last, after more than 3 years since getting MY Funk back (will go into detail later) and collecting parts for it I am finally really starting the project.
Its going to have Campag, mainly Centaur, as I had it when I owned and raced it in 1990 to 1992. I had the first Rock Shox on it back then, and I will be getting MY actual ones back very soon, but have sourced some Funk suspension forks to put on this time. Some parts will be different to my original build but they will all be period, I think.
So far I have unpacked it, removed all extra stickers, had the bottom bracket shell re-faced both sides, threads checked/cleaned through with a tap and a new rivnut fitted for the front mech cable clamp. This work was done by Velocity Cycles in Cosham Portsmouth today. Last week I had them rebuild my rear wheel with a NOS Centaur hub as the hub on the wheel had two cracks in it. Very pleased with the work.
Thats enough writting for now, I will put more info about the history of the frame and me later, with some old racing photos!
Heres some pics so far.
