Hi folks,

felt awful for the last week, thought I'd cheer myself up with a bit of stripping and cleaning this.


I had to relace the wheels because the spokes were shot big style, rims are nice with the original stickers still intact. Tyres had a slight rinse is warm water.
Reused the nipples, but two were really shot, so I had to replace them.



The frame and forks on this are lush - the dropouts are mint. slight mark on the inside. Decals are little scuffed but its like me :D



The crank seemed to be far over on the drive side - when I opened it up there was no grease at all..  :shocked: :shocked:
no wear though, which is nice  :daumenhoch:



Looking at this thing must it's not been ridden, original tyres, inner tubes. The only question is the grips  :-\

well happy...



hope you like  ;)

Looks mint Sid  8)   

It's great when you find an original survivor from bitd with all those little details still on it , like the DB decals on the wheels and the fact that it looks like it has hardly been ridden . I Got a Redline of Glen and that is the same, totally factory spec/original even down to the reflectors front and rear  :D

Hope your feeling a bit better soon mate  ;)
