Some would say probably a better likeness than yours?

Just a brief update as I have far too many things on the go at once!
Had to agree that with the brown Ourys there were just too many mis-matched shades going on. Tried the white Ourys but just too white! (The Flite being much more of a dirty cream than white...)
Decided to go with the black Ritchey TrueGrips for now; changed the Hyperlite bar for a Reynolds 501 as I'm hoping the steel bar will take a bit of the sting out of the trail buzz over the super-stiff alloy Hyper's as I want to keep it rigid?
Xt thumbies and X-Lite ski-bends is about as far as it goes so far...

Hmmmm, so much for my snazzy Crank Case BB;
Would have helped no end if I'd noticed it's a 73mm shell on this frame!
Luckily I had a 118x73mm LX in the shed... :roll:

Nah, don't sweat it. My fault for not checking; even more so as I knew my e-stay frame was a 73mm! :roll:
That's why I had the spare BB; it was originally for the other frame but then I picked up a UN74 dirt cheap.
Which reminds me, I must pick up another alloy non-drive side cup for the other Un74 I have to go in the Raleigh...

Finally managed to get a bit further with the Kili;
After rummaging through my parts bins I cobbled together an acceptable chainset out of three others...
...this is actually the second-best 'set; the best is now on my e-stay special (more of which at a later date).
I going to use a black chain on this one so a quick trip to Halfords for a Clarks 7-speed chain is in the offing.
The XT canti's are waiting to go on next then all I have to do is cable it up (Clarks again...) and it'll be ready for its shake-down ride...
