No worries peeps, no one is wrangling or hassling me, just asking questions. I'd prefer it to go to someone that 100% happy with it and that's going ride it, rather than to strip it down for parts and/or punt it on for a profit, after all It is a bloody lovely bike!
Also just as a quick update:
• I've now nipped up the cones on the rear wheel and cleaned the hub behind the cassette.
• De-greased & oil bathed the chain, which is a Sram PC69 and not a Shimano as previously stated.
• Stripped down, de-greased and oiled the cassette, which is a 9 speed Shimano Ultegra HG6500.
• I've given the rear gears a quick tweak, so they are changing a little better now, but as I'm unable to ride it at the mo, because of back issues, I cant risk taking it out for a spin to test it.
• I've also adjusted the brake pads so they don't catching the anodizing of the rims anymore.
• And finally fitted the left/ front Shimano 600 (Ultegra) shifter.
The only things it really needs now are a front braze on mech, some rear brake pads (as they are pretty damn low on the back) and of course a seat and pedals, as I'm keeping the ones pictured on the bike, for my Rixon/ daily ride.
Either way its bloody clean now!
Cheers Andy
