ade^ might tell you

e-stay honey tho

You,ve bought one of the NOS E-stays from bankrupt bikes ;)

Hoping to have this in rideable condition for the Malham ride next week so updates will be incoming.


looking forward to seeing it on the ride ;) (No pressure Ed) :LOL:



I'll have to sort it because I have not got another retro bike in useable condition atm! :oops:
 
I pulled mine out of the shed last week, quick oil and it took me 20 miles up the East Lancs. Still way too small for me but a great ride nonetheless.
 
I like that Edd. Looking forward to seeing it on the Malham ride.

I have an Eiger frame from 88/89 which needs building up, and I like the look of the original spec on your TuffTrax.
 
Cheers Paul. I spotted some original spec brake levers in the fs section yesterday, might be worth a look ;)

Done a bit of cleaning today so it's coming along. Just need to work out the best way of tidying up the rusty qr's and bolts :? I have some better ones in stock but want to use as many original parts as posible.

Even got the front reflector! I approve. That was one part missing on mine (along with the saddle)

I have the original tyres, but they're cracked and crumbling on the sidewalls
 
Yep, all reflectors present and correct :D

This is coming along well now and is in better nick then I thought. Finally got the stuck stem released so have been able to grease the headset. Mechs came up well with a bit of Autosol. Looking like it should be ready for the weekend.

Here's the finished results! Everything's been striped, cleaned and greased. Very happy that the bolts + other bits scrubbed up meaning I could keep it original. :D

Love all the little touches like colour coded bottle cage + reflectors, cable wheels and plastic covers on the canti's. Don't make 'em like this anymore :D
