Brettoll Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Not just content with a HEX, I also managed to get my hands on a a mint Leeson 609 Frame and Pashley (disc) forks to play with building as well! Might go for a "of the time" build - brown frame and green decals makes part colours interesting for the build. Anyone have any build pics out there to use for scoping parts?! Cheers, Brett 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seat is superb - though impossible to find I would imagine. Thinking cable brakes, have a V sorted for the rear and a not very period BB7 in the garage.. Such a sweet build!

Matt24. Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 That is very similar to how mine ended up a few weeks after this picture. Avid sd7 rear and original sd7 levers with a bb7 up front with some high rise bars and shorter higer stem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 Liking the all black levers on those brakes. Is the front brake a hope lever blade? Not seen them in black before for that age of brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 Looks to be an 07+ blade onto an up-to-06 body. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt24. Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 I would take Adams answer! Bought it second hand and I swapped it relatively quickly for a BB7. Have never got on with Hopes and dont know much about them- it popped a seal on the caliper on a hot day not long after getting the bike and that was enough motivation to go to cables!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
