I remember seeing one of these at Epping forest dripping with 3DV in the early 90s. It was certainly a crowd pleaser

Re:

simply stunning

Re:

Now we're talking. And if you don't ride this one hard, I'm popping over for a spin even if she's too small for me ;-)

Same as the Pace mate

Re:

More parts sourced.

This time lots of NOS anodised black Ringle...

Ringle Zooka stem, 0 deg rise, 130mm (thank you GT Retro Tech Shop)
Ringle H2O bottle cage
Ringle Super Bubba 32h
Ringle Moby 27.2mm
Ringle Holey Titanium QR's
Ringle Holey seat clamp
Ringle Anti-Chain Suck device











Next up was getting the front wheel built. Back in the day I loved and ran snowflaked wheels with no issues at all...I know they're marmite, but I loved them and this is my build. Having already sourced a NOS 32h Ringle Super Bubba hub I then managed to source a NOS 32h Mavic M231 SUP CD hard anodised grey rim to match the one on my DD Pro. As I am having this build with anodised black parts I went with silver spokes and anodised black nipples. This wheel was built at my friends shop Brink Cycleworks...

Always nice to see another Hei Hei on here, and some great parts going on as well.
