Cork and alloy grips from the old bicycle co.

Replaced new spindle and 7 mm ball bearings. You can see this unusual sun style cup with fastening screw.

I have used the brake stirrup and clamp that came with the bike. I am using this until i can find a SPARKBROOK rear brake

I am having a few problems after having cycled through London with the chain slipping so need to shorten by half a link as the wheel is set very far back in the forks. I also need to sort the BSA rear 3 speed hub out. Very frustrating fish plate in the gear changer keeps slipping the cable through the solder. Apart from these minor set backs the Sparkbrook is a beautiful ride.
