I started to build up the frame this afternoon but had to stop due to needing a few parts.

Things I need to do:

*run new gear cabling (inners/outers)
*route the brake hoses
*install the front mech and chain (when I can find a 31.8mm/28.6mm shim).
*put new wheels on (white superstar crests) which arrived after I took the photo :/
*find somewhere locally that stocks 30mm QR seat clamps
*index gears
*tighten bottom bracket as I couldn’t find my BB tool!
*tidy leaves
*paint fence

Can’t wait to get it finished!

Built up my new (to me) 520 PA frame a couple weeks back….

5’6″ on a 15.5″ frame with some old Fox Talas wound out to 130mm

Not ridden it in anger yet as till taking it easy recovering from broken wrist. Had a couple of gentle pootles and I’m liking it so far 8)

5`11″ on a 17,so its nice and manoeuvrable.Having a 150 fork lifts bottom bracket nicely to help clear gnar in places. Love it to bits.Shames full sussers regularly 😆

An original 853…
