Ok guys im normally into restoring Burners  but couldnt resist straying from my norm .  With all the sexy TA's that have appeared lately ive been dying to get my TA finished .

Well today i got the chance to put a few hours in so I gathered all my TA parts together, finished polishing the DX seatpost and put on 2 new decals, polished the bottom bracket including bearing cups , then had the fun bit of putting it all together.

 Im so pleased with how it has turned out and is prob one of my favourite builds to date .  Normally I paint my own frames but i found a local powdercoater who done a fantastic job for £30 and i dropped it off and it was ready the following day  8) 8) .
