Thanks for that Frank,

was wandering about the forks :wink:

Only problem is they are in extremely good original condition so don't really want to alter them at the mo.

Might go with all black for a bit then when things get scuffed change fork and crank to white 8)

Nice frame just like the one i had until some tea leaf stole it in Sheffield many years ago...

I have recently bought a newer second hand version, to re ignite the flame of the Blizzard..

Just got to cable the brakes up and put some new decals on the seatpost then it should be good to go.

Think I might have to put some more decals on the cranks as they may be slightly too far down the arm.

Could still do with a mark1 syncros seatpost and a stem with built in noodle if you know where there are any :roll:

That's looking great
If you fancy swapping stems sometime I have a Syncros with a noodle
When I swap the brakes over on my '95 for Pauls V's I won't need the noodle
Then you could run yours without the hanger

Sounds like a plan but how soon are you thinking of?

Be nice to cable the brakes up once :wink:
