Picked up all the parts from TripleS today, what a great job! Everything looks to have been masked off perfectly and the shine on the gloss black is super
The fork legs and yokes are textured satin black, the yokes look superb but the fork legs look a bit coarse in places but I'm going to roll with it, it'll look terrific!
Youve been done! They have nicked the airer frames!
Loving it ebbo......It's cold and wet outside so you might as well just bang on with this.....Crack on !!........
The bolts holding the discs and carriers to the hub came undone real easy but the disc was stuck fast on the bearing carrier. I left that for the afternoon soaking in WD40 before attacking it again later on. It came apart with gentle persuasion
The front wheel wthout its carriers and disc - It can carry another disc and the fork leg has mountings for another caliper... Interesting!
I really do fancy twin discs, And that harks back to my RD350 which would also have taken a second disc, I just never got around to it. But I’m going to resist for now, I’m sure it doesn’t need it
This may not look like much but is in fact a big step forward in restoring the bike, These are the two new fork top nuts. I had no idea where I was going to get these and what made it worse I didn't know what size they were or even exactly what they looked like, Ceriani made quite a few different types around this time. Loads of research on the net and I finally found them on Classic and Vintage Suspension. I had lots of help from the seller Ben and he posted them out with various other fork seals pronto, I had them the very next day. Now I can start putting the forks back together
Talk to Ben, he’s a very helpful guyGreat stuff and Ebbo, thanks for the link to the suspension guys, very useful for my Bultaco
