Re: American Breezer - one of the first ones
all with Autosol...after that with 'Never Dull'.
Only for the chainsuck and one point at the seatstays i took a 1000 grid sand paper only for the edges.

Looks great

Re: American Breezer - one of the first ones
step by step...
Shimano head set is mounted - i like this special lock nut !
The Salsa True Temper 4130 steel bar in chrome black will fit perfectly to the Koski fork which will arrive today.
The next step was to mount the first version of the Shimano XT front mech with a clamp in 31.8 and the standard Shimano XT crank
But the satin surface finish doesn't want fit to the polished frame. I decided to take the old polished Cook crank with the black Shimano Biopace-rings.
I think it works better now
So, the last step of the last night - Shimano XT rear mech 730 cleaned and little bit polished up
The result
The next patients are the XT 6-speed thumb shifter - they need a lot of love
tonight more...

Thanks Eric, the first plan was to use a Suntour XC post - i have one in 26.8 here, but it doesn't fit
The post is maybe a little bit to oversized. I don't want to damage the the seat tube. The ContolTech in 26.8 fits perfect, but i will watch out for a IRD - thats a good idea thx
