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 ;)

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...............
:)
