What are the welds like?

Fairly clean tbh, mines the freestyler and they look tidy for a cheapish bike!

Certainly lasted the test of time!

That's true. Good to see British workmanship still going strong :daumenhoch:
So will we be seeing a resto thread from you soon? What's the plan?

cheese2222001:
I'm not sure to be honest mate, in two minds at the minute. The chrome is pretty pitted in places, luckily the hidden places. Will either get a full re-chrome (I have no idea what this costs but expect it not to be cheap) or will go powder coated customised route.

As this bike was originally only available as a frame/forks/bars set not a complete bike i'm sure I wont upset to many by customising her.

Tough choice and a decision I will not rush, what do you think?

P.S. If anyone can advise on chroming costs or even does chroming please get in touch!
