early 80s aero AX build. yolo swag.

So good and I kinda like the tape, only other option would be silver but it may be a little bland.

Magic.

Just curious about the rear brake cable - shouldn’t it be a direct arc from the last eyelet to the caliper? You’ve got it rising up like internal cable routing would dictate.

correct, i havent completely finished cutting of the cable outer. i need to find a 27.0 7200 crown race still and i’ll need to pull everything apart at some point when i do, i’ll do final cable trim then, and hopefully not fuck it up because the stuff is OG and says AX on it :stuck_out_tongue:

^ AX cables? Dear lord.

in my defense they come in the box with the levers and calipers

Yaasss

if you hate this you hate cycling, end of.

Pretty good Asher, pretty good

This is the kind of bike that makes grown men cry… with joy.

Excellent. I think you did well with the tape. Red tape/straps to match red of decals might work too. Or not.

Fluro raincape would really set this off eh Jamesy

haha you said it pete

The tape is perfect. Just naff enough for the era. Perfect build dude!
