If anyone is interested
Here are some pics of my Nimbus II with a 3" Gazz and a new red Miyata
seat
the pedals are outland CNC 6061 alloys with Cro-mo splidles and the
seat clamp is something I found in the local bike shop for £2.50

I think it looks cool now I cant believe how fat the Gazzaloddi is,
but I have to say the Miyata looks flimsy, (some beefing up required I
think)
Thanks for all your help Roger!

Pretty pictures. Thanks. You say the Miyata seat looks flimsy. How does it feel? I have the red model converted to an airseat on the S-H MUni. I put some bolt plates in to hold the new 1/4" carriage bolts (sorry, don’t know the UK translation for carriage bolt) but they don’t really add to the seat stiffness. The larger carriage bolts with large washers may be helping. Three of us have tested it this way without it cracking yet.

Beautiful! What is that rim and where did you get it?

Wow, I didn’t know colored anodized 24" rims were still around. Not that I
expect to be doing a lot with 24" wheels in the future, I love my old,
beat-up, no-longer-truable 24" red rim and would love to replace it.
If you have it, could you bring one of the red ones with you to UNICON? I’ll
gladly pay your price, plus luxury shipping, in handy-while-you’re-here US
dollars… 
Stay on top,

Nice pedals. How much did those set you back?
I’ve got a blue Nimbus II with 3” Gazz and yes it’s a great tire but I’m waiting for the KH saddle to be available. My pics are in the gallery, I’ve upgraded the pedals since but I’m jealous of those pedals of yours.

The pedals were £42.00 I think they are about £50 in the uk
They are too grippy for me at the moment and I cant ajust my foot position so I removed some of the grub screws.
They are really wide and they feel solid and they look cool

If by ‘carriage bolt’ you mean a bolt with a domed head with no slot or hole for a screwdriver, no flats for a spanner, and often with a square flange beneath the dome to grip the sides of a slot, then we call 'em ‘coach bolts’.
Yes, those are the ones. Thanks. I’ll add it to my vocabulary. I need to learn to speak UK before all you guys get over here.

Repeat after me.
“What ho!”
“By jove!”
“More tea, vicar?”
“Jolly good show, old chap!”
The Monty Python banter sketch is probably your best starting point.
In fact, you need nothing more than Monty Python… “Wow, you’re really good on that unicycle” = “Mein hovercraft ist full of eels…”

BUT only if its property, NOT ORANGE PEKO, which is vile and disgusting
and not worthy of being called tea.
Personally , I’m bringing my own tea bags, you never know what you might
served in those foreign parts.

I have some excellent loose Darjaleeng tea that an Indian co-worker brought me from Calcutta. But, hey, if you’ve got your own tea-bags…

Sounds nice. I though tea bags would be easier to deal with than losse
tea, in a country were kettles and tea pots are not standard kitchen
equipment. Tea made in a mug with a tea bag is drinkable, made in a mug
with loose tea is a mess. I can always use a sausepan to boil the water.
Assam or darjeeling are probadly my favourite teas, but mostly I drink
blended teas ( assam based). Sometimes a cup of earl grey is nice too.
