Nice bot don't use alu bolts on brake pivots – mate of mine nearly lost his left eye when the head of the bolt on his front brake cracked of on a down hill, brake slid off and into the front wheel – sure you can imagine the rest :shock:

He still has the scars nearly 20 years on.

Coloured bolts are great for un-stressed fixings and for making pretty, but half the weight unfortunately means half the strength too (well probably less than half actually)
