quick update
Just a quick update. I'm trying to resist the temptation to purchase everything i see thats green and blingy to keep this bike for becoming the Jimmy Saville of the bike world.
This is a really slow build as i have no time to spend on it at the moment. To keep my hands in, i've thrown it together for a picture to remind myself why i started it and to give me a boost of enthusiasm to carry on without spoiling it with all that is Green. I like the crank and don't think it's too much with the little green bolts.
The front end is from a 94 Explosif which was a darker green with grey forks and orange decals. Although slightly lighter, not too far away from the original grey of the lava dome forks.
I have curve cantis to go on and some high command levers, which i'm not keen on now, but from what i remember of my original one of these BITD they were ok. I can always change them if i need to later.
BTW, the wheels are temporary, They have polished up nice but need new cones and and bearings which is fine, but they don't match, which really bugs me now they are on the bike. i'm looking for a new matching pair to hold these great tyres. Love the tyres, IRC Mythos re-issues £13.50 the pair delivered! (thanks to cda for the tip-off).
As usual, any feedback welcome.
