Re:
Happy , sunny weekend boys and girls !
Made a bit of progress on the build today so I thought I'd share
Took a punt on a decent-looking LX hub on eBay , in order to get a cone for my front wheel . Good punt as it turned out , as the cone looks unused
. I haven't actually looked at the rest of it to see if it's even been built up . Such was my eagerness to get the wheel sorted out ! Looking a bit more respectable now ,
and now the rear with it's new freehub body ,
Cheers Malcolm at the Cycle Clinic
The eagle eyed among you may have also spotted some rubber hoops on those wheels . Managed to find some 1.7 Ritcheys , or more to the point they managed to find me , after I lost out on another pair due to a reply to an ad that was seconds too late :roll: Thanks Carge , and to shinobi for helping me out with that
Got no idea what they ride like :facepalm: , but I do like narrow tyres , a favourite being Panaracer Fire XCs in 1.8 .
Also been busy this afternoon doing some polishing . Clean with white spirit , 800 wet and dry paper , metal polish and plenty of elbow grease !
The cranks are nicked from the Scott Team Racing that I built up last year . Got some replacement Sugino ones in the week , from Konaman
Had to really , they're 180s , like the XT ones pictured with the mechs .
Ironically , as I want to keep this bike all XT , it will have the cassette and chain from the Team Racing bike too , as the wear is pretty similar , whereas the Team will have a new chain and cassette as the chainset is in such good condition
Funny how things work out isn't it :roll:
Anyhow , here's how the bike is looking now ,
Hope you like ,
Mike

that polishing is a top job too .
Re:
Thanks for the kind comments
The cranks didn't need much polishing to bring the shine back , as I'd polished them when I built the other Scott . It was a bit fiddly doing the mechs though . Just a saddle short of a full bikes' worth of tat now
Got my eyes peeled for a black Ritchey or a Flite . And still unsure if I can get matching bar tape .Will start the hunt now :shock:
