Bringing a 93 Kilauea back from the dead

[Spanky22b]

Just making sure the quick releases fit the new wheels

Let's go with a 8 speed set up,i've had this nice clean M737 cassette for a while and it fits perfectly on the wheels, even on the lock ring is gold.

Time to do some spraying, starting with the chainrings which i'll do in black. And the wheels, you can't beat a set of Shimano 16 spokes i think they'll set the bike off perfectly

And i think i'll do more spraying and give the brake levers a overhaul, i think i'm getting the ocd again lol

Looks like someone removed the paint and polished those levers

That's the way they are, the ones in these photos are the levers on my 93 Explosif which is all standard spec,i think the black levers had white writing.
I'd love to find a set of the champagne gold levers they did (last photo) but they're proving to be impossible to find so i'm going to spray the levers black and do the writing in gold with the ones i've got.

Chainrings all done with a bit of gold on the writing and numbers to make them stand out,I think gold fever is getting to me

 

[Spanky22b]

Brake levers all sorted

And the gold titanium seatclamp bolt turned up.
I was going to go with a Sugino chainset but i'm liking the look of the black chainrings and gold bolts on this Deore chainset so may stick with that.

It's starting to come together now
