SBike 506

Re:

Since the arrival of the Lotus the SBike has been missing out a bit but received some turquoise bits from RacerX today so I thought I'd have a little play.

Fitted the crankset, pulley wheel and front derailleur . I was originally only going for the two chainrings as I thought it would look better but, 1. The front derailleur fouls the pulley wheel if trying to run two rings and 2. I was wrong, I think it will look better with a large chainring on.

I don't know what everybody else's opinion is?

I then took the orange skateboard truck rubber's I ordered and with a little whittling down with the bench grinder swapped them with the originals in the flexstem

Don't worry I have an alloy top nut for the headset which will be anodised to replace the current one.

After being distracted by a little black number for a while, it's back to work on the 506

Some bits that have been to Acorn

As you can see it's going to be a bit blingy :shock:

Everything looks good in Porsche Gulf racing colours. Looking forward to seeing this one finished.

Me too (on both points)

What on Earth are you going to do with a Lotus and a Porsche Gulf ? - perhaps take them for weekend away in Leicestershire around mid June ?
