Going from a Black coloured brake set-up. To polished both ends. For no other reason than it’s been in my head for a while. And felt I had to go for it……
I think its going to look waaaaaaaay better. We’ll see soon enough 😳
DiaCompe Bulldog Freestyle reverse-pull Polished front:
Odyssey Evo 2.5 Polished Rear:
Odyssey Linear Slic Cables
Subrosa Straddle Cable and Knarp.
About: if not the best parts available. And £120 for the whole lot. When I had brake issues with my GRX equipped gravel bike - I saw a new lever with master cylinder was £220 (From memory ?). So cheap for top notch parts per-se.

I've decided to give the Ridgeback Platinum some blue outer cables so a set with stainless inner cables is on it's way.

My names Shuv and I’m currently addicted to Titanium fixings. MAN THEY ARE SEXY 😍
These ones are bolts for the female front hub on the BMX. To go with an ever increasing amount of Ti it’s adorned with…..

Apart from rim tape and a new valve core, I bought Hadrian's Cycleway: Coast-to-coast cycling from Ravenglass to South Shields for our third C2C in June. The ride is subject to the father in law having a heart valve replacement and being released early enough from hospital for my wife to be happy to leave him with the MiL.

The BMX bling-a-thon continues.
CNC machined in the UK. Thought these look really nice. Shaped rear (Not just squared off or rounded) and ‘fins’ on the body making it slightly different to the norm……

New front derailleur and 50T chainring plus a set of chainring bolts.
No photo - I guess you all know what they look like

Had a spending spree.
For years I've faffed about with crappy cone spanners.
Lashed out and bought myself some propper cone spanners.
Bought one of those notch tools for opening freehub bodies.
Bought a tub of Mobil XHP222 grease
Bought a tub of 1000 1/8 bearings.
Bought 3 freehub bodies, 2 wrong, one correct (hopefully - when it comes)
Course now I've got all that I'll probably end up binning off this style of rear hub and get a hope type job with cartridge bearings.

After considering 475 different options and opinions I have bought some Gravel King Semi Slicks in 35s for the stonking summer we might have

Further purchases included some Supercaz bar tape and some Lizard Skins bar end plugs in colour schemes as closely matching the theme as I could find.
The result is a mix of neon green and neon yellow, but for now it is good enough for who it is for. May try and iterate on getting things more closely matched in future?
