Re:

For sure. It will probably be at Bisegal at some point in the next couple weeks.

Not sure on the brace. I have two. I may just put one on the rear.

Re:

A couple more bits aquired.

The tires are a definite. Folding re-release Smoke and Dart blackwalls. I have tons of NOS Smoke blackwalls, but no darts.

Kooka Levers ... I will see how these look on the bike. If I can, I'll anodize them black to match the rest of the components.

Got a ring from the powder coater and all my bits are done. I hope they turned out!

There may be another fork change

Re:

Nice! But kooka levers are for v-brakes (I think)

I was worrying about the same thing right after I posted ... been trying to figure that out online.

Re:

I think I am ok ... cantilever.

Someone tell me if I am off though.

Re:

If I had these about 2 weeks earlier it woulda changed a lot about the build. Oh well ... I have had worse problems.

I'll see how they look on the bike, but they'll probably be saved for another build down the road.

Re:

Why not spray paint the legs to match the frame?

Re:

I already did up that mag 21 ... Seems like a waste not to use it.

True... but to have a gator and not use it... tsk tsk tsk.... just kidding..

It would look awesome though

Re: Early 1993 Brodie "BHDT" eXpresso (Ex-ClimbMax) Build

Probably look pretty good, but I woulda done a more classic looking bike had the gators been here before I sent the frame off.

That and with the gators, I need noodle stem ... slippery slope. I would like to have this bike on the trail before the end of fall.

Perhaps a sovereign is in my future
