Mild, 13 degrees, felt the same, 12-15 SSE breeze. Some patches of blue sky and a hint of sunshine before the next wave of showers piled in. One thing I've noticed this spring/summer are the increased number of and variety of cows. I'm guessing that's a direct result of the drop in wheat prices...

Four words: I bet it flies

Congrats on a great score, especially the price. I've a saddle coming that way over the pond that's cost as much 😬 You know my take on keeping it OG so I won't repeat myself. Most importantly, will you be riding it? I've never tried one and apparently, according to Pip, they are fantastic 👍

Exactly this. The 98 Ku's, whilst treated with care, should be fine. Pre 98...you're playing Russian roulette with 2 spins left...

Big up @swannymere for spotting On record, this is the current pneultimate 20" 1992 Hei Hei. It has, by all accounts the ti Velocity stem and bars. The seatpost is titanium but it's not an O-Beam. It's still got it's noodle and has had a good life 👍 B20426 - Pre-Bullet, Canti Bridge...

So to wrap this up, 480 was already on the list but I've updated it with the latest info: H9A00480 16" 1998 Metallic blue - Hodaka, 1999, Control Code A, October, 0480 (sold on Kiiji, now owned by @Monkeeee01 )

If there's any chance you could get the full SN in shot that'd be much appreciated for the archive 👍

That's a great spot...looks like we need to add another unique identifier!

You know me, OG wins almost every time, especially on a custom frame. Just look at the state of the "top gun" Hot as a recent example. The paint isn't the problem, re-creating the decals is but I trust your judgement 👍 :wink: A further consideration point. As a later Ku with a seat-stay...

Great job. Petition to keep it original starts here 👍

According to the files, the cable stop has been removed. I can't tell from the pictures and I'm waiting on access to the FB group.

Almost identical to yesterdays weather: solid cloud, 13 degrees, felt like 10, a slightly lighter WSW breeze around 7-8mph. Quiet out and woke these lot up. Also encountered another deer in the middle of the road 😬 :LOL:

A cracking time-warp build with lots of potential. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/146633140242?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m164380.l178264&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=34197d0b6e8e46c586d3677c7cdc39c4&bu=43169613375&ut=RU&exe=0&ext=0&osub=-1%7E1&crd=20250608040431&segname=11021&recoId=146633140242&recoPos=5

....and breath... A solid 10/10 on the irony scale.

Cool 13 degress, felt like 10 but got sweaty going up the steep ramps around here. Solid cloud, 10mph WSW breeze for some extra e-bike esque torque-boost. The legs felt great, the air was fresh, and nature...or bunnies and deer to be precise, were all over the place 🤣 The highest point...
