While I wait for some new parts to arrive this afternoon I was thinking about the rest of the bike.
I'm probably going to reuse the stainless steel handlebars from the RoadAce but for colors I was thinking of using Jagwire Gold Medal housing for the brakes and shifter. (
Like @Veloria used on her custom mixte)
Which brings me to the pedals on this bike;
After using the MKS Urban platform pedals for over a year they still spin smooth as butter. So when it came to this particular bike I was looking at their models as well.
Since they are 70 years old they are putting out lots of updated models of classic pedals like the
MKS BM-7 BMX/MTB pedals. The
BM-7 Next is the higher end model with triple cartridge bearings (and a more modern dust cap!) in a range of colors. Especially the
gold and the
blue catch my eye but I'm still thinking.
Any opinions on this?
Other fun, but totally unnecessary, additions could be
brass self-extracting crank caps with the respective
bolts.
Then again, I might be going slightly overboard on the gold theme here...
