These ones

They will be arriving with the frame, and just need fresh pads (which my LBS have in stock).

4 hours of faffing, blood, sweat and tears, and she is in one piece minus gear cables and chain. Off to the LBS tomorrow for these.

Old decals removed (took 1 1/2 hrs), polished, new decals on, forks cleaned and bits added.

Will post a new pic tomorrow of her 100% done, but for now heres how shes looking

Thanks to:
Spitoon; X Ray and crank bolts
Dr S; jockeys
Xizang; stem cap
SPESHMIKE; USE post
Dave H; frame/forks, rear mech and Maguras

Oh, and big thanks to my wife for the front wheel, tyres and hours and hours of patience.....I've been a huge arse these last few days and especially tonight

Thanks

After sleeping on it last night, I'm going to change the Magura's for V's as I think the Magura's look a little 'chunky' especially the 4 finger levers.

Very nice build

some sid blue HS33 maguras could work?

V's will actually look smoother, and the colour of the LX levers and V's will go well with the frame and drivetrain.

It feels bloody light :shock: Going to get it on the scales tonight
