Curtis bikes were chromed at Hampshire electro plating in Southampton, they're still there today with some of the original staff. Both myself and Phil Sawzall use them for our chrome work.

Evening Guys, 

Thanks for the input on the Chrome im well pleased with the outcome so far.

The build is moving along, Got a set of forks thanks Mart! :daumenhoch: Got them paint stripped and they were abit crusty for the expert so I swapped them for the forks on my crusty Pro and they all match up pretty well.
Got a few parts together



Got a survivor headset off Spen and decals from Retrospect





Laced the front wheel tonight still waiting for another proclass rim that my mate is welding up for me.



BB and cranks going in tomorrow night, next decision is what colour tyres? Red or black?

James that looks seriously awesome mate and you can't beat a cleaned up survivor :4_17_5:

Mark at Retrospect sells the LP320 decals you need for the headset mate so get them ordered ::) You could ovenpride and polish the blue headlock as that's what the full headset came with or see if someone wants to swap it for a silver one?
