Massive thank you to Kent400, and for the lifting handle also :D
Very nice work and a true gentleman who gave me the impression that he just really enjoyed restoring clocks and his immaculate original condition 400.

With all the parts back from powder coating and a couple of repro parts from various suppliers, I started bolting things back together.

I enjoyed building the wheels and tensioning and truing them after having done many bicycle wheels. Same principle and technique but far sturdier.
