No, not original. It's been coated up and re-decalled. Looks the part tho. ;) G.

GREMLIN:
The frame and fork set were already coated up etc when i bought them. I'm sure they had the turbo-lites treatment. All i know there's a lovely, blue tint lacquer covering the chrome. Tough too. I've knocked the coating more than a few times now and not even a glimmer of chrome showing.
I put this Turbo up against my other with original finish on it, and the match is kinda close. The original finish is a little darker and has the oily effect to it. I like this one the way it is tho, and don't think i'd recoat even when an excellent match for the original is sorted. ;) G.
RATTY:
Grem, can you make inquiries as to what was used on the finish mate, theres a lot of non black chrome learys awaiting the treatment
