Hi, what brake lever hoods did you use? I have got some Modolo levers too but they are in need of new hoods.

That's some brilliant cleaning over there :). Lovely how it can bring and old bike back to life.

Which rear mech is that? Looks quite modern... Maybe and older one will suit better?

It's a shimano 105 early 1990's. I'm putting the parts back on that it arrived with as its not my bike unless they can't be fixed or restored. The gears took a lot of fiddling with to get them to work flawlessly. I'd forgotten how easy it was to unship your chain on the front pre indexed systems!

Wow that's some transformation! Nice job, hope your neighbor appreciates the work you obviously put in.

WOW :shock:
Thats some transformation!
You've done a brilliant job and hopefully the owner will be just as amazed as us lot. You have got to be getting a pint or fifeteen for such an effort. ;)

Say that a Black hole crearted by Prof Hawkins in the Go Compare advert has sucked it into the future....................... gone forever :

That's a wonderful transformation and just goes to show what a little hard work can produce.
