Another interesting one added to your collection mate. I know it's OG to the bike and shown in the advert too but I'm afraid I'm a +1 on the "lose the snake post" team :(
Tyres look ace on the mags :coolsmiley:
:daumenhoch:

Cheers John :daumenhoch: she's interesting for sure.
I knew the decision to keep the snake post would divide opinion. If it was bent at all it would have gone but it's not and it is crmo and has thick tubing. The tyres came with the 48s pro class rims that nearly went on my Fred Blood Hustler. I have since swapped the mags for a set of the same that came with my pug. They didn't clean up as well so will suit this survivor/rider build better. The Free Master's mags came up really well so will go on the repainted pug build.
I am torn about the og brakes on this though. They are clean enough but the cables are routed to the left of the caliper and the cable guide on the forks is on the left blade like most bikes. The cable guides on the frame are on the right too. Not very practical but from what I could find out about Star Way is they bought and imported parts and threw them on bikes. I'll probably keep them but it just bugs me a bit.

I have just finished another little job to keep things ticking over...
The freewheel has been stripped, cleaned, greased and reassembled. It is now running silky smooth, as good as new. Little jobs like this are often the ones that give me the greatest satisfaction.

Agreed Damo, quality stuff. I find jobs like that quite therapeutic tbh. It only took half an hour from start to finish :daumenhoch:
