On One Macinato

How are the levers and clamp looking?

Odd at the moment lol. I've been meaning to get some sandpaper, but I won't have any until the Tuesday after next, I'll definitely get round to it, and polish them once I have the stuff to do it.

Took it down to the shop to be built today (I'm saving up for my own tools at the moment) shop says they don't stock serrated washers for road callipers. If anybody has any spare, please shoot a PM my way as I have only found them online in America so far...
These are what they look like:

Wheels arrived today, very happy with them. The tyres are cheap Raleigh tyres, but I'll get some Pasela's later on once the wetter weather strikes.

Nice wheels! Did you get forks yet?

Cheers and yup, the bike gets picked up tomorrow, so I'll upload some shots of the final build.

It's nice to see it all together, you must be really pleased with it.

Did you know the front end isn't straight (bars, wheels, fork etc)? I'd get someone to look at that if I were you. It's not very photogenic. Looks like that grass needs some Weed 'n' Feed too.

Looks very nice.

I wish I had the skill to build from scratch, well done.

It's a great way to learn everything or nearly everything about maintaining your bike.

Also a great way to find out how many tools you really need but don't have!

Cheers chaps I didn't build it this time though, my shop did. I'm still collecting tools to build my own bikes.

lol, the grass isn't mine, it's council property

Took her for a 15mile ride, it was my first proper time in the saddle in nine months too.
