Some minor updates on the Beater Project.....got most of the parts now for the brakes, had to go buy some items as I seem to have given away too many Magura parts recently and left myself short . Gear cable outers have now been cut to size and fitted in the cable stops and I've found a rough-ish Mavic 231CD/Shimano DX wheelset laying around that will do just fine for this build.
I'm still searching for the crown bolts I put in a 'safe place' when I traded some Pace crowns earlier in the year....if the damn things don't show up I'll have to source some replacements from someplace. A friend of mine has some tatty old bars that sound just right for this bike, hopefully I'll get my hands on those soon then I can cable up the one Thumbie, fix up the Magura's and get them bled. I'm kinda concerned about them stem as it does look to short but we'll have to see how it rides...

Bike shaped at last



Wot no crown bolts.....



Mavic 231CD's....Mmmmmmm
