Bits and bobs

The parts have now started to arrive. So far everything has been brilliant and only needed relatively minor restoration with exception of the pedals and the rims.

The rims are much worse than expected and with a little experimentation last night they should come out ok, but will definately take longer than expected. But probably easier work when compared to the pedals.

Some of the bits:

One thing of interest, are the decals. The ones on the frame are from Ultrahive (US), and the ones on the bars are by Del-Cals (UK), and on comparision the Del-Cals are much more superior. Primarily because they are primed in white, so it won't matter what colour of frame they go on, they'll still pop. Which is good, because the frame and forks will be re-powdered in GT green (Colour Code: RAL 6018).

The Redline 401 are just a work of art in themselves:
