Build thread - Brodie Sovereign '95

[PanoIgano]

You decided not to restore the chain suck mounts?

I talked with Paul about it.

When we talked, he only had the 3 mounts chain suck plates available. These ones were created for later models. I believe '97 and afterwars.

Anyways, as I didn't want to wait until he would get some more orders for 2 mounts ones (he probably needs orders from several clients to make sense for him to build them in a batch) I decided against it.

It should be fine though...I can even mount a Tektro one from the 90s if need be.

That's true. I have an Antichainsuckthingy from Ringle on my ExPresso.

Hi everyone,

I have been meaning to complete this project faster as I am really curious to see how Brodies ride but as is usually the case in life some other projects got in the way (an American Comp Lite being one of them) and so this Sovereign was left dormant.

I slowly gathered all the parts I would need for this build and also looking at my stashed ones to see what I could repurpose.

I have finally reached the point where I can stand assembling it now.

Here are a few pics as of a few hours ago:
