Re:

Your doing a real nice job on that, glad you've sourced the correct decals I think they always make a bike!

Hello form Sofia,

Today I took the bike back home from the mechanic.
You can see the result. It is 75% or more done.

Now the bike waits for new grips - those are new and Scott made, but the colour does not match the whole story, the seatpost is not ready yet and I wait for the stickers from Brasil.

I tried it. It runs smooth and nice. Hope you like it!

Cheers!

Alex

Re:

Looking good so far

Bontrager make grips in that colour and they're great

Re:

Hi guys,

Is it possible the seatpost to be less than 26,6 mm?

It is currently machined to 26,5 and enters only one inch or so.

Thank you for your answers.

BR,

Is not the inner site of the seattube damaged.
I will measure the seatposts of my Scotts tomorrow afternoon.

Hello and thank you for the answer

It is possible to be damaged. After all there was frozen seatpost.

Thank you for your efforts.

Greetings from sunny Sofia.

Re:

Hi guys,

I just got a call from the spinner. The seatpost was machined up to 26,0 mm.

Here you can see the result:

It looks that this frame is 1989 by production.

It is almost ready minus stickers.

I hope you like it.

BR,

Alex
