I can't take full credit for the wheels really  :( Sam had them polished originally on his supergoose, and I bought them from him and gave them a once over with the autosol and an extra buff on the rim face  ;)

Get a pic up of how it arrived mate  ;)

If you insist Joff :angel:

OK then - this is the picture the seller in the states gave me..........

I used the frame/forks, crank, BB and headset - that's it.

I put aside the bits I can use on future builds and sold the bits I didn't need.



So it got fully stripped down........

Removed the faded tatty decals (which look a lot better in the above pic than they actually were in the flesh)

Assembled all the component parts and gave everything a good clean and polish......




Then on with the decals........

And a quick sample tester of the pads on the frame..........




And finally the finished product...............
