oldtired:
nice one D :daumenhoch:
thanks for all the other comments guys very much appreciated :daumenhoch: the way its looking there will be one more final update to follow , more pics of course , ffs i hear some of you say :LolLolLolLol:, been on a roll around and the mx 1000 i cobbled together has failed big style first the cable lock nut snapped clean off, patched that up then the bolt sheared off at the frame, so i've had to go to plan C on the braking with some more from the spares box, although i'm likeing the way its going though and is something i didn't think of doing before :coolsmiley: , budget has just about gone due to some additional bits needed so i think the strip down and repaint might just be a patch up job , determined not to go over, pad set is going to be home made , :LolLolLolLol: :uglystupid2:, tinkering about with those at the mo , so don't know how long it will be, mock ups are rubbish so far :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :crazy2:

for your amusement
I spent 2 hours today researching your bike,[had some time off work and run out of stuff to do, and it was raining so icouldnt go out and ride] unfortunately to no avail, that gusset is pretty unique, the drop outs are pretty patterson like, but thats a bout it, thought i found it at one point from a pic its was a bit out of focus so i downloaded and stuck it in photoshop and the oval hole in the gusset turned round once id rebuilt the sharpness :( So its not a motobecane

thanks very much Jay very much appreciated , glad i could inspire you to stay out of trouble , if only for few hours, i've spent hours trawling different forums from all over Europe, thought the forks might have been Speedo when i first saw them, also went down the DB , Hawk and the obvious Bandito route the ones that are closest were over in France i'll see if i can find the pics , Tiger , just about the same ,the frame they were on was completly different though , spoke to a guy on here , who did a bit of searching on the French forums but didn't get anywhere , the frame is pretty distinctive although i suspect was one of the band wagon frames from early to mid 80's , i think the shape of the gusset is quite funny like this ! as in wtf is it !!!!, i edging my bet that someone will just say i had one was a right pos it was a ....................... :LolLolLolLol: the bars that came with it are realy bad :LolLolLolLol:
