1988 - Overbury's Pioneer - A little progress has been made

Don't get too excited, it isn't another to add to the flock on the site, it is Sinnerman's resto. Although I thought that Carl did a fantastic job getting it back to the standard he did, I thought it would be nice to upgrade it to XT status.
All original parts sold, leaving just F&F and stem. I do actually have all the parts, I am just having the XT/Wolber wheels built at the moment. the only departures from the spec below will be black bars and seatpost, and round rings (if anyone has a mint set of the bronze Biopace, do let me know).
Seen before, but a couple of pics of the F&F and a few of the parts collected.
p.s - I have realised that if you want a bike like this for £699 :shock: , then you need to have bought it in 1988.

Cheers....Nick

Nice!
Looking forward to seeing this built up again

One wheel built, one to go. Put a few parts on. Still have a few issues with the pedals and the roller for the stem, but hopefully shouldn't be too much longer before it is completed.

Looking great! sooo fresh!, will it get muddy?

Apart from having my rear wheel re-built (thanks Antstark) I've not been near mine, very poor, just too flaming busy

Hi Nick
What roller do you need for the stem ?
Might be able to help you out there

Few more parts added. It is true what they say, iPhones can take crap pictures sometimes :roll:
