Always nice when a few new bits turn up.

Its a mongrel.
Only got the size stamped on it and costing the princely sum of £20 on ebay.
I think a bit of persuassion may be required.

The rear wheel so far.
Not straighforward as expected as not exactly the same offsets on the nipple holes.
Judicious use of the dremmel sorted out most of the issues but...........
The more observant of you may note the spoke pattern is now different, really don't know if this is an issue or not?
It is not fully tightened up yet and I'm going to get it trued up & checked out before I put a tyre on it.
Spokes and nipples were genuine parts but nipples were longer?

Just when you think things are going along swimingly...........................
Air tight?.....I don't think so.
Is there any part of this bike the previous guy hasn't bodged?
That is Araldite not bonding a chunk out of the carb alloy.

Did you know that TENERE is ancient Tuareg for "every moving part is shagged"
The shiny marks are all indentations.............steering as smooth as a ratchet.
The hits just keep on coming.
I tend to give my bikes names.........this one is called Black hole cos that's where all the money's going.
