If your friend wants photos i'll sort some out

Those Photos,...
Provocative, or Revealing?

I'm with @Tsundere on the saddle. Brown was old man tat in 88 surely?

The grip tie-in, whilst justifying the saddle colour, is playing cultural "double or quits"

This is how it happens!

I know, thats how I ended up driving 500 miles to buy a Giant Halfway

Yeah if you are looking for rules about what makes a bike look "correct ", I might not be your guy. I'm just interested in making them look good and function, not follow what's "proper". As evidence, the photo I provided earlier as an example of grips, saddle, and black post looking good had a dropper post. I don't even know what "double or quits" is, let alone "culture". Do what is right for you

Well i think it's ready now to fit the cassette and chain and cable the bike up.
Done a couple of changes, polished up the brake levers,swapped the bars for some Fisher Bulge bars i still had off my old 88 HooKooeKoo and fitted some comfy old grab ons i had lying around. And saying i'll just be going for leisurely cruises along the coast on it for chilled out rides i fitted a Avocet Touring saddle what was in the cave.

Little details but i noticed the barrel adjusters on the brake levers were mismatched so i've swapped them for some spare ones off some Deore XT brake levers the silver and black is a nice match

There's going to be a welcome addition to the 80's fleet sometime next week and i can't wait to get it I own a couple of my holy grail 80's bikes but this one has eluded me for years,this one isn't one of my ultimate holy grail 80's off the shelf bikes which are the 88 Team Stumpy and 88 Pine Mountain but i'd say it's tied in 2nd place with the one in the previous photos
