Sounds like an excuse to buy more bikes lol, great idea and may follow suite

Cleaned the mechs aswell, pics above..... they took some scrubbing aswell, but the jockey wheels almost looked new!

More frame, looks better in real life

Frame has been stripped of paint and I really like the look of naked steel especially when the gold brazing is on show so I've given it a fair few layers of clear coat and I'm gonna leave it like this for the time being. Wheels have been built up after a clean and the cassette replaced and qr's...

its the expander wedge bolt far left

Bloody legend:)

Not sure, looked at motorbike end plugs to covert it

Yup shimano

The bolt in mine is buggered so either a cheap replacement or a new/used expander bolt with an intact 6mm Allen head is desperately needed. Or a pair? As long as they shifter 3 x 7 I'm happy. Ta

Yup, fingers tight as feck haha

Chainrings are buggered, binned and I've some pace ones I'll use, a longer black seatpost, bought some new black bars, silver high rise stem, found some other parts such as a vetta saddle, stx brakes that match the rsx parts. Bought some nicer levers...... supposed to be a cheap build haha

Frame initially was attacked with an air sander and then a grinder for really bad bits........then went to heat, works really well with little effort haha

Quick update, as I've dislocated my shoulder I've had some extra time to painfully and slowly do some work on this. Fully stripped to frame etc and started stripping the rust spots, more than I thought once it had been cleaned so a simple plan to make it nicer again is in order, pics to follow...
