This will be my main ride again this summer, allthough I was quite happy with it there were a few small things I updated this winter, starting with the footpegs. The old ones were picked by the previous owner Harry and did not fold up. On a low bike like this, that can be an issue because when they touch the ground in a sharp corner they might cause me to loose grip on the rear tire and topple over. Not good.

 
 

I got a set of classic footpegs, and remade the hinge parts so they can double as the pivots for the pedals. I gave them the acid and oild treatment so that they would match the rest of the bike, problem solved!

 
 
 

Another modification was that I extended the clutch arm and the outer cable holder, this makes the clutch lighter to operate, especially nice when getting stuck in traffic jams which happened a few times last year....

 
 
 

The only other thing I did was change the rearview mirror ( for the third time!) as on the previous version I lost all 3 of the little screws holding the head to the stem. So once more with Loctite this time! There, I am ready for summer!
