I miscalculated how many Onza Ti pedals I had, and I haven't got any NOS left, so I will revisit this area at a later point. I've put some Titanium axles ones on, but they're scuffed and need a rebuild in the not too distant future. Maybe, I'll strip, paint, and rebuild them with all new parts. Anyway, the bike is finished albeit without its NOS pedals.
I really wanted the XTR grey cable outers, but couldn't find them on my searches, so
HarryCrumb pointed me in the right direction - thank you, as they look so much better than Black on this build.
My thanks go to
Rampage (Chris) once again, as his workmanship is fantastic. If you've not used his skills yet, then I urge you to. Whilst I use Chris for little things on the bikes, they are such high quality and really stand out.
Whilst I'm saying my thank you's - another thank you to
Gil_m as his decals are superb. I'm fussy about them being exact, but he's very patient and always understanding about my requirements with accuracy.
Getting the grips on was interesting, and I now know why people cut them off. I had to boil them in water for 10 minutes to soften them up. Remove them from the boiling pan straight onto the bar, whilst using a tea towel to manipulate them up to the levers. I tried other methods before this, and nearly gave up on them, but my perseverance in wanting the correct Hex foam grips was too overwhelming!
I'm having an issue with my image hosting site, so if anyone sees these images upside down or on their side, let me know please. It's an Apple compatibility thing!
