TOY24 72 Posted October 25, 2019 Took me a while to find a survivor frame set, too many people are refinishing these days No disrespect to people that like shiny bikes, I'm liking the used look for old school Anyway got myself a nice F/F to start, never had one of these BITD 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TOY24 72 Posted October 25, 2019 Took a little bit of time to find a nice set of not stuffed with wheels Sorry about the toilet pics, doing renos at the same time as building the Quad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TOY24 72 Posted October 25, 2019 Starting to get things together Ended up using the Tuffneck and MSC bars from my PK It ended up with the GT bars and an early square corner Tuffneck 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TOY24 72 Posted October 25, 2019 Got it up and ready for a ride with some repop comp 3 While I was building this I was given an old ladys bike that was beyond help, surprise for me was a perfect DID chain under years of old grease Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TOY24 72 Posted October 25, 2019 Still thinking about changing a few more things, need a black tech 3 RH lever ( hint hint ) and not sure about the black chainring 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CharleyGnarlyP290 38 Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) Cripes... very nice. I like the black chain ring best, meself. I am going to start the slow process of getting my '81 Quad built back up.

turdburd 130 Posted October 26, 2019 That is a beauty. Like the look of the black chainring also. Was wondering with these if anyone has noticed a difference in the ride or feel of the 531 vs. 4130 Quads. One stiffer or flexible than the other type thing. Maybe it had been brought up elsewhere but just curious. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian Hays 620 Posted October 29, 2019 This bike is seriously perfect. What a breath of fresh air. Well done. I agree on the Tech 3 lever. Shouldnt be hard to find. It's my understanding that the Reynolds tubing was more rigid than the chromoly tubing. Should ride "stiffer" than a chromoly or aluminum frame, i would think.
