My new hubs turned up today. Some NOS hope xc hubs, 32h. £80 posted which I thought was ok.

For N.O.S. that sounds like a great deal to me. They're a beautiful bit of kit, they'll look very trick when built up - especially with gold nipples :D.

Yeah I thought it was a bargain to & I can't believe I was the only bidder on them. Just abit gutted that one is discoloured. I can't wait to get them built up though.
 
Some more bits came this morning. Some nice gold hope skewers, these were a bargain too! Should go nice with the gold hubs!

This was waiting for me today. A NOS crud catcher DH fender. I've always loved these mud guards! Just need to find the matching down tube guard now.

I'm going to take my hubs to my lbs on Friday to get my wheels built up & I'm going to start to strip the ms isle. I'm in talks with 2 sellers about some junior t's & monster t's. As soon as I get the forks I'll get them stripped & get them & the frame painted.
 
I got some more bits through the post on Friday, Saturday & today. Been spending way to much this month, but I can't help myself lol!

So first up is a set of middleburn rs7 cranks for my pashley 26mhz. They are in good condition, but I'll be changing the bash ring to either red ano or blue. I can't believe how light they are!!!!

Well I got my wheels back on Saturday from my lbs. In the end I had to have new spokes because my old ones were 5mm to short, so I got dt Swiss black spokes, they look really good! Whilst at my lbs I bought a 160mm gold hope saw floating rotor for the rear. I'll upload pictures when it's the weekend.

Some new bits came today.

Hope 180mm gold floating rotor for the front

Looking good Luke.

Cheers stu!

I messaged the guy about the seat clamp, but he wouldn't sell it. But!!!!!, I managed to find a nos one, so I quickly snapped it up.

I'll up-date this thread with some new pictures today.
 
It's been a while since I done a proper up-date on this thread. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Notice my new wheel combo.

The pics were taken after a lil 12 mile ride.
