Another Rare MT Racing (UFO) Resto..............

(1/8) > >>

Macmania:
Picked this Frameset up from a guy I know who lives in the US. After much pestering from me he finally threw in the towel and sent it across the pond to the Macmania MT Museum  :D

She's a 1984 MT Racing UFO (Full Cr-Mo Frame and Forks).
There are a couple of chrome UFO's knocking around, but as far as I am aware she is the only one left that was originally supplied with the transparent coating over the chrome.

Must say a massive thank you to Dan who has gone to great lengths applying the super sweet transparent Violet powder. Looks absolutely amazing in the flesh and is exactly the same colour as the original  :smitten: - thanks Dan  :4_17_5:

Also, a big thank you to Del who has reproduced the decals to exactly match the originals - thanks Del  :4_17_5:

Without these two guys most of my resto's wouldn't be possible  :coolsmiley:


Anyway, here she is..................i've tried to build her as close to factory spec as possible -

Alloy 7x Copy Rims
Cheng Shin Tyres
Suntour Freewheel
MT Racing Bars
MT Racing Fluted Seat Post
MT Racing Headset (YST)
Viscount Dominator Seat
