Andy, I've just sat down with a brew and a Yorkie on my break at work and enjoyed this thread. What a labour of love and a massive headache of a build for you.

The bike looked great in the end pal, shame you sold it pal.

Thanks Dan - it was a real labour of love, and the toughest build I've ever done, despite the bike being almost complete when I bought it. I have bills to pay, and I would probably never ride it, as I ride most of my other ones. It seemed a shame to just leave it to gather dust. It's gone to a good home - someone who had one back in the day  :)

Cracking build Andy  :daumenhoch:
So much more satisfying when you have put the hours in restoring stuff like you have then just shelling out for a box full of nos bits
