CustardLips:
Like that Mick... looks cool.  :daumenhoch:

Mikku:
Thanks mate. Am happy with how it turned out. Ideally I’d have another stem on there and had my eye on a nice-looking, blue Sugino one, but since I’d always planned to use the blue pads on this, decided to save my pennies and make do with the old SR. Anyway, enough talk, here’s the parts run-down and a few more pics:-

That's one sweet looking ride!  :smitten:

Have to say being a freestyle guy, I'm getting more and more into these old school race builds!

Looks cool  :daumenhoch:

Mikku:
Thanks guys! My last few builds were fun and I loved the bikes but they didn’t have the emotional attachment that this one has, so I’m happy how it turned out. :daumenhoch:
