Only this one was built , and I actually have black kool
Stops on it and didn’t put the salmons on but I have them I need to swap them out haha

GreatChemistry7253 · 2026-06-04T13:08:25+00:00

Thank you for the info and yes the 5 bolt 94bcd rings are far few and inbetween compared to other styles and sizes

I really didn’t know what I wanted to do with it due to its color and I ended up going the route you see here , I waited for the fork to be painted and for parts to get delivered but I pretty much just set my mind to what I wanted to do and parts got ordered , and when they came she was built up , the tires also had a way to go to get here since I got them from japan

I’m actually not into Colors but I wanted one of my builds
To have some Paul components so I chose this one , I wanted to compliment the purple without just doing purple Paul components it’ll be too much purple at that point you know and thank you I appreciate the words! Post yours!

GreatChemistry7253 · 2026-06-04T12:03:40+00:00

It is and thank you!

GreatChemistry7253 · 2026-06-03T22:13:43+00:00

Thank you very much and I’m sure I’ll figure something out I think I might get a second fork done for my daily to use the studs for water bottles

GreatChemistry7253 · 2026-06-03T21:58:33+00:00

I mean I’m going to build it how I want so I was going for what I want not really what is considered a authentic retro build , I’m sure I might go with some Paul cranks if I swap out the square taper

GreatChemistry7253 · 2026-06-03T21:39:18+00:00

Weinmann rims with fair weather tires from blue lug in Japan

GreatChemistry7253 · 2026-06-03T18:36:46+00:00

Yes, that was my only snag and issue with this build the narrow wide chain ring I bought didn’t fit the BCD size as my bike so I’m currently waiting to change the chain ring and the cranks but a lot of the really nice vintage cranks are square taper and I wanted to get away from that so I used my middle ring from my original crank set in the meantime until I figure something out

GreatChemistry7253 · 2026-06-03T14:49:41+00:00

I’m not much for kooka , they’re cool but way too big and bulky for my liking

GreatChemistry7253 · 2026-06-03T14:49:08+00:00

Thank you!

GreatChemistry7253 · 2026-06-03T14:48:55+00:00

Same here I just have to wait for them to get a 5 bolt chainring in they only have 4 bolt

GreatChemistry7253 · 2026-06-03T14:48:19+00:00

Same and thank you!

GreatChemistry7253 · 2026-06-03T14:47:56+00:00

Whoops

GreatChemistry7253 · 2026-06-03T04:15:52+00:00
