Hi, I'm new to sohc4.net. Really enjoying your build! Your polishing skills are amazing!

I am working on two of these 400/4's at the moment.
Could I please ask where you bought your rims? There are 2 sellers on ebay selling 'borrani' or 'akront' replicas. One seller in Italy and one in USA. Did you buy from either of those?
Did they lace with the front hub ok? I am worried the drilled holes on the rims may be wrong.

All the best - will keep watching your progress.

By the way - I bought this product and it seems to work well for putting a protective seal on polished alloy. Easy to apply too.

I'm pretty jealous of the weather!! Definitely winter here and not riding weather.
Thanks for info regarding rims - that was the seller I was in contact with. Thanks for the recommendation !
You've built a sweet bike. enjoy it!

Amazing how much better you look with a shave and haircut  :D

Good thing too, as that yellow beauty deserves a handsome rider!
