Here is a bit of a run-down of my A2E project so far.
Frame as received


Another pic showing some surface rust on the frame the rest of the pearl paint on the rear was well useed.

Mag 21’s stripped cleaned & resprayed waiting new decals.

NOS Barracuda branded stem mated with the Cuda bars received on the bike.

I have a very specific colour scheme in mind for the bike, that I am sure will emerge during this thread. Found some bar ends. Liked the shape, the colour didn’t match so removed the purple anno and polished them.

Replacement seat post.

Cook Bros cranks & Chainrings. I think the CNC machined on the chainrings are cool.


NOS M900 XTR shifters and Canti brake set.


Complete M900 XTR Groupset

With most of the parts collected the frame went off to the chromers to get a new coat of Satin chrome.




Its now off at the powercoaters getting a cany red back end and a clearcoat over the whole lot, as per the original paint scheme.
Just need to get the decals sorted out here is what I have drawn up so far.

Hoping that cudarider1 can help with a scan of the head tube decal from his set, then I can arrange to have them printed.
I need to sort out some wheels, seat & grips. Any suggestions or thoughts welcomed.
Thanks
