Right, here's the bits I still need.. cheap and cheerful please:
Almost there... need to get my act together and get the thing polished.
***Now need a 9 speed chain (Funny how these things snowball)*** - Sorted
26.8 Seatpost - preferably black - Sorted
Semi integrated headset 1 1/8" Threadless, 44mm O/D bearing cups - Ordered
Saddle - not fussed as to brand etc... something soft and squishy - Sorted pending comfort testing
Grips - Again.. comfort is the key, preferably black - - Sorted
Bottom Bracket - 68mm Shell and around a 110mm axle I think (Need to measure the crap one I've got in there atm and make sure chainset fits) - Sorted
Cable set - Ordered off the bay
Rear Wheel needed, possibly front too. Disc hubs, Rear preferably with cassette. Don't need anything fancy, just cheap. - Now sorted.
Cheap and cheerful rear shock for the wife's saracen BSO. The one that's on there is completely shot and it rides like a clown's bike. 6" long... I'll check the width of the mountings tonight. Sorted... managed to butcher one I had lying about
Needs to be as cheap as possible, as I'm building the bike up for my Leeds - Liverpool charity ride in September.
One final question - is it acceptable to post a link to this thread in the Pre 98 wanted forum as well?
