Hope you guys like her.

It took a LOT of missioning to get this build completed.

 

Awesome! Well done!

That's just beautiful :drool: ... wondering if the pic was taken in your garage - coffee at hand for those late nights tinkering

Ok so here are a few pictures of my almost complete restoration of a 1989 Hanson built with Reynolds 525. This bike my folks bought for me when I was in Std. 8. I have a choice between a 50cc Buzz bike or this. I have hung onto the frame for all these years, but unfortunately the components have worn out. I get hold of this guy in Joburg and he has an almost brand new 1898/90 "Blue" 105 groupset, the exact same groupset the bike came with. I will add some pictures of what it looked like and what it looks like now.

The hubs and cranks had signs of corrosion, so I polished them up and will have "Shimano 105" put back on and clear coated. Still the original Biopace chainrings, in very good condition

The hubs are the silver version, I only have the front "Blue" hub, still need to find a rear one.

105 hubs built on Wolber TX Profil rims. Both rims are almost brand new as well.

Hubs as still extremely smooth, amazing after so many years.
