Progress

Very little left to do. I rebuilt the front wheel again using 2mm DT spokes to match the rear wheel.





Finally the rear brake is spot on, having re-bled the system to remove a stubborn air bubble.

I love the finished result have you laquered the frame or left it bear? great bike!

Cheers, I thought about getting it laquered afterwards but with such a smooth finish the laquer may flake off later, and that would be a nightmare to restore again.

So I waxed it with a hard car polish afterwards so the water/dirt won't really attack the surface too badly.

Then probably a good polish 1-2 times a year to bring back to a full shine.
