A slight bit of progress!
Hopefully sorting out and selling as many bikes and parts as possible also helps to focus on making some progress on the ones that I'll keep before they go into storage (this is probably number one on the list to keep).
Having stripped down and sold my S-works, I had a black pair of SS5s with tatty paint. One was missing its decal, showing the circular holes underneath and it struck me that if it was the correct colour, they would work well with the Aende drilled holes.
It took a little work to get an acceptable (not perfect) finish. I originally applied some polish to one part and realised they were coming out too shiny to match the satin finish of the other parts, so I had to re-sand it. I spotted a slight mismatch in bolts, so they had to be replaced, but now I'm one part closer to being able to build it.
If I remember correctly, I now just need some cantis (Dia Compe 985s to fit the hole-theme?) and some shifters and it will be ready to build up. I want some Sachs thumbies, but I'm still waiting to find the set I want, so I might build it up with one of the sets of Deore thumbies I have spare (could be the only Shimano part on the bike, although I can't remember which cassette I'd planned to use) and replace them in the future if possible.
