Now have a matching rear hub with open pro rim. Now also polished. Noticeable when fitting it was 120mm. Should I be ok with extra mm movement in the stays on tightening the ends or fit spacers?

I admire his skill but he was asking for it, the car did seem to move towards him though. Just reminds me of those Lucas Brunelle films: skillful yet stupid cyclists doing dangerous things and doing the rest of us no favours.

I am sure Argos would do a wonderful job on it but I am not sure it would be £112 better. Plus that is their lowest price for plain enamel: metallic etc are all extra.

Haha. But seriously two Jag stems, a Campagnolo seatpost and a couple of C-record hubs are going to get a polish. really pleased with the results, it all took half an hour or so and minimal elbow grease required.
In other news I have ordered this for the Razesa rebuild, have got a good set of parts accumulated so far.
There a chap on here selling Omega Strada Hardox aero NOS rims but he is reluctant to post so working on persuading him. Argos have said no to a track fork but have offered me a wide touring fork which was a bit of facepalm. Rychtarski have quoted 190 euros so I am going to go back to Orlowski.
Oh and I have a quote for a orange powder coat from a local firm for £48 . Slowly coming together.

Looking at their website various levels of enamel. Powder coat versus enamel? Looking around the web powder coating looks the better option: tougher and much more environmentally friendly.

You are right of course. Contacted a local powder-coating company and they have quoted me £48 for a frame, which is a lot less than £160 from Argos. And they have these spanking oranges to choose from.

I want an orange bike. The frame is currently black. What is best price I might expect to change black to orange? Argos is £160. I could get a powder coat through a friend for £40 but very limited colours none of which is orange.
