I'm sure Rom Bloke, admin on here, built an exact replica of that bike.  I'm sure that was when prices were still sensible.  Dread to think what it would cost to build now.   :shocked:

bodamus:
Getting those exact tyres might be difficult especially the rear and the Hadley BB in gold will be tricky.

Good luck :daumenhoch:

Julian347:
Sound expensive, but great fun hunting down some of those parts.
Good luck  :daumenhoch:

meticulous:
if your starting fron scratch then you will have to put at least £3.5k on one side,  then expect at least 12 months to source all the right parts,  it can be very daunting.
