Hubs all serviced with new bearings and some cones from donor LX hubs. Cleaned the wheels up too. That front wheel was a pain to clean but got it pretty nice, I’ll give them another look over before tyres go on.

I’ve got a pair not doing anything. Pay the postage and you can have em 👍🏻

Now that is lovely 😍

Yeah you’re probably right. They’ve made it 30 odd years so far like this and they’re tensioned up lovely. A good clean up for them today then is in order.

I like black and white 🙂

Mmm.. Just noticed that the 3 of the the 4 sides are built 2 cross. I’ll have to change it.

I was wrong about the bearing cover being on the outside. It was present on in the inside, just another on the outside for good measure 🙄 Anyway the wheel is fine, wants a single cone, some bearings and the freehub body hadn’t been tightened. Easy stuff.

@danson67 is the guy 👍🏻

My mate had this problem and ended up getting some from Finland. There’s a guy in the forum who can repair it if you can’t get the stays. Very reasonable it was too.

Some cleaning of the parts and a bit of a polish of cranks and post. I’d like to put m730 on it really but LX is what’s on it so that’s what it’ll be for now.

Very nice 😊

Got some primer on seeing though it’s a nice day. I’ve not sprayed a frame for at least 30 years but no cursing. Let’s hope the paint goes on as nice🤞🏻

Yes clear coat that is. I’m hoping it will turn out ok. It’s a 2 component acrylic resin and the paint is acrylic so fingers crossed they’ll get along. We will soon see!

Some paint arrived today. I’ll see how orange the orange is before it goes on the orange. Got this nice stem on the way too
