Got an £8 rotor from fraz on RAD Also won a padset for it but forgot about the rotor hole in the stem and the bar pad is slightly too wide for the bars  So they'll be back on ebay soon enough |

Just t-cut the frame a bit to remove those rust blisters and it's not looking too bad.
Checked out some other bits and found it's got an Ammaco chain ring, Mongoose spider, SR pedals, Araya back wheel and Sumo front ( although they look identical )

proper ones ? Are you saying it should have different ones ? Still got to fit the ACS rotor as well I think the axle is 10mm fine, I'm off to the nut and bolt store tomorrow to get some stud, washers and nuts I tried 10mm coarse and it just catches on the bearing race and spacer that passes through the wheel |

Updated finally Bashed the ACS rotor around this morning for an hour just to get the old snapped cable out. The dust cover had jammed between the 2 halves, I had to persuade it round with a hammer and small screwdriver  Added some of waz's blue cable and ferrules and voila, it actually stops now The rotor isn't pretty but it's a rider not a carpet queen  Had to switch the cable adjuster and turn it upside down on the front to make it pull the right way    |
