OK so this is def well overdue as i've been floating around here for a while now so hello and here is my first retro installment, virtually the same as before but now mine, thanks Edd
As it was
Very nice but wanted to make it my own and fulfill some of those school boy's dreams as at the time this arrived on the seen I'd just bought a 1992 clockwork though one of my friends had an elite.
So i've been quite busy buying treats for her
then started assembling it
First ride with her new jewellery including XT Canti's to replace the LX ones
And here are a few pic's I took today
Hope you like it, got some silver ringle hubs in polished rims and some re-issue Porcs as a second set of wheels, not built up yet as I'm contemplating black spokes but not sure yet?
Thanks for all the help and parts i've sourced off retrobike
