Tractor Posted November 24, 2013 Share Awesome! Now please check your cleat set up, so that your shoes don't scuff the arms again.... Going to fit some platform pedals so shouldn't be any scuffing .. I hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted November 24, 2013 Share And talking about the pedals - I have a pair of old Wellgo platform pedals that I want to use, they're old and have some scuff marks and they're a funny "goldish" kind of colour, but they're aluminium so I took out all the grub screws and just took the grinder to them (fitted with a flap disc wheel) and then finished off by sanding them with a fine sanding block. These won't be polished to a shiny finish. SamL1220 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaper Posted November 24, 2013 Share Now you are becoming OCD!! Lol Is going to be a mission to keep clean and shiny once you are finally riding. Will be a picture of beauty for sure, perhaps you should just hang it on the wall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be a picture of beauty for sure, perhaps you should just hang it on the wall... To be honest it's gone from being a 26" single speed play bike to more of a café cruiser. Looks like I'll have to build up another more rugged and less 1970's porn star disco mirror ball type play bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted November 27, 2013 Share Just a quick update with regards the missing derailleur hanger - and to show that service does indeed still exist I sent off an email to the Raleigh SA guys via their website, I get a reply the next day indicating that this specific RM was imported by the then Probike. Probike was swallowed up by Scott-Sports so once again I drop them an email, I get an almost immediate response asking for me to please email some pics of the bike and hanger area to them, which I duly do. Later the same day I receive a reply that they do in fact have stock of the hangers BUT it could be one of two different types, they then ask me to place an order via my LBS using the product codes supplied. I've now done this, so hopefully the hanger will be here shortly. Tyreman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted November 27, 2013 Share Tractor, the question now is: what are you going to polish the rims as well? Faark NO - I reckon frame, seat post, crank (and super bling bash guard) and pedals are about it! I already have a black FSA bar and white stem and don't really want to start stripping and polishing these as well. I reckon I'll assemble and then have a look at what really looks out of place - no doubt helped along by some Hubbers input This bike is going to turn out totally different to what was originally planned for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinton - theCOW Posted November 27, 2013 Share So my question is what happened to the donor bike frame? It's a small? I might be keen to convert my 2030 SS (Giant XTC Carbon with Carbon Rigid fork) into a more retro SS ride, after it's received the Tractor polishing treatment Love your work dude! My lil Mrs will kill me tho if i have to build/buy another bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
