Well Barry rides,.....& rides OK. He doesnt look any better but he is finished and riding. I managed to convert the BB to a square drive which opened up a whole lot of freebie options. I converted the old RX100 cranks to SS by using the small ring off my Truvativ from my Masi and cutting spacers for the bolts from the outer ring.
Brakes were an issue so I ended up just buying a set from Vintate Bicycle Parts in Victoria, Scott there was really helpful. So, he has cost me 60 bucks all up and doesnt get the wobbles up at 40km/h. He does feel a bit funny in the front. now to do a few miles to see if I like the SS thing........
Bodgey crank & no brakes

We now have brakes (almost, no cables):


TADAAAAAAA!!

Now dont critique me too hard on things like cable routing and quality of fittings, this is only an experiment. The next one will be much better (practice for rebuilding the Raliegh). It has been fun learning about what will go with what and finding out the cheats. Barry and I will definately do a few KM's together. Apart from the funny feeling al the seat height is too low.....he goes alright. Hopefully my knees will go alright with the SS........
