Trains
Well-Known Member
I decided it was time to jump on the band wagon (or train) and do a progress log on my comp L. I have some pretty big plans for this bike and it will hopefully end up looking awesome!
When i bought the bike it wasnt in super bad shape, it really just needed some tlc (and new tyres because the old ones were wheelied on and burnt out to the max). Thanks to Snaptrax for donating some old tyres to the noble cause.
I am currently running some random rear wheel because when i bought the bike there were about 6 snapped spokes (this is why obesity is bad) and threw the whole wheel out. I need to get it balanced.
Here is the bike a few days ago after a decent clean.

Loco and Myself took a trip down to Atomik in Dandenong this morning and i went a bit crazy with the spending. I bought a few little things and ill keep you updated as they are installed.
First thing is i bought a TB button filter (49mm) to fit onto my oko flat slide. While riding last week i tore my old, big one. So the small filter should stop that.

I also grabbed myself a new linkage as the other one was cactus.

Same with the chain roller (As shown below)

So i went about installing it but found that the new one i bought was different to the old one. With a hacksaw i chopped down the spacer and then with a home made lathe (cordless drill and a file) I trued it up and made it look pretty.

In the end it turned out pretty nice.
