built this bike pretty much from well used parts
just got the stickers off Del, to finish it off!

orb gave me the frame years ago, and dan harris gave me the forks.
don't see many of these bikes about, so didn't have much to go on!

i pretty much copied the general idea off this pic:



and after much stripping, powercoating, de-annodizing, spraying, drawing the stickers (from photos) i have this







not pristine by any standards, but a little something different for MK!!
the braking system is great on this. cable routed through the fork legs. and the tiny centerpull (thanks stidds!) works pretty well too

harris:
you done a great job of that gra   :)   looks well ridable   :4_17_5:

Del:
Ahh now it all comes together... nice bike, dont see many of those.
Where's the other little decals I made for ya?
