Re:
Sooo, the forks arrived from CTK. Nice, light Spinner jobs. I then weighed the stems I had. Since the steerer on the new forks was longer, I could fit a canti hanger, meaning I no longer needed one with cable routing. In the end, I re-fitted the Zoom one. The bike is too big for me, so the Keirin may go on at a later date.

Re:
A little digging revealed that the original stem: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Schw ... :rk:1

was made by Kalloy…. so on the hunt for one now! Shipping a genuine (Paramount branded) one from the US, given the budget nature of this build isn't really practical.

Oh shite - I’ve got a gate coming my way from Longun which is bigger than that, in fact it’s so big it’s in the size Mike Muz “should” be riding
Oh well I’m still going to clean it up and bring it to Mayhem - just a shame you won’t be bringing this one ^
The thread made for a good read and mucho impressed with you achieved from such modest beginnings
Onwards and upwards

Re:
It breaks me riding it, the first couple of short rides were fine, but over 3 hours it is just too long / too much pain. It would have been good at Mayhem, I did consider doing a local winter race series on it, but alas it'll never happen....
