x3 chrome all the way baby!can't wait to see this! :daumenhoch:

Spen69:
Ed. Just wondering if you've thought of getting a price to chrome the forks.... ??? :2funny:

ED209:
never thought of that... cheers Spen  :daumenhoch:

 ;D

gonna try black, then red, then maybe chrome if nought else works.

Not sure how perfect chrome forks would sit on an imperfect frame though.

I've got most of those parts Jon so its just a question of building  :)

Working on it now...



( PS. need to speak to you about fixing bolts for the bash Jon  :daumenhoch: )

I used a coach bolt for the front mounting. A regular bolt (as was originally supplied) kinks the cable pretty bad so I didnt want to do that. The coach bolt sits pretty flush so works perfect.



For the rear it was an absolute nightmare. The thread in there is US thread and absolutely no where had a bolt that fitted. I had to dig in 3 mates garages until I found a bolt that went in there. Id suggest digging out all the US made parts you can find like stems, seat clamps, etc, that have US sized allen heads and go from there. Hopefully one of them will have a matching thread. :daumenhoch:

PS: Everyone needs to back away from those cranks and chainwheel.  :2gunsfiring_v1:   :LolLolLolLol:
