Few more parts added :

Mavic 231's, though now not using the black hubs,new 1" King headset and a Hyperlite handle bar, though I am looking for one in better condition if anyone has one ?
Finally a mint blue H20

All that is required to finish the build is a pair of Grafton re entry levers,rear mech,BB and a nice set of tyres.

not long now 8)

I've got a pair of near mint Michelin Wildgripper in retro green w/ amber walls that would look top notch! PM if you're interested ;)

Been a little quiet on the Yo build lately, a combination of building the Monster and getting the 89 Fat Chance has hammered funds! anyway finally managed to find a sensibly priced pair of Ringle Skewers, they just need restoring !

Still looking for some re-entry levers , also thinking of swapping out the Cooks cranks for some Grafton joysticks :? cannot decide

Very easily, put the axel tightly in a vice and simply un-wind the lever, was quite tight,but easy to do.

Thanks!! I'll probably try this, too.
Do you already have a side shot of the bike? I'd like to see how the Ringlé stem looks with a cable hanger and the rigid fork.
