That looks mint Paddy :4_17_5: Great build mate :daumenhoch:
You got a bargain there too with the frame and forks :D I see you took the plunge and got some of Bill's decals ;)
southern andy:
Thats nice. :4_17_5: but i'm sure JimmyP off of here does those stickers.
bobafett:
Nice work Paddy - love it mate :daumenhoch:
The frame n forks look mint :coolsmiley:
Really clean looking build.................
........come round to ours and I'll race ya round the block on mine :LolLolLolLol:
As for your serial number mate - certainly an '83 as for confirming expert / cali, without survivor decals who knows :LolLolLolLol:
The catalogues have the first calis & experts down as both having main frame chromoly and just equipment spec setting them apart. Later catalogues then have the cali as all tubes chromoly and the expert still as main frame chromoly only so it's easier to tell them apart after late 84 ;)
I also have a theory about the dash in the serial but I can't fully prove it yet without more serial number / frame examples. Both my cali and UK super are all tubes chro-mo and do not have the dash but my 84 blue max is main frame only chromoly and that does have a dash :-\
As far as I'm concerned with that serial number she's a cali or an expert, whichever you like, and either way mate she's a beauty :smitten:
Top work - now go get yourself a gusset goose to keep her company and mongoositis will take a hold of you >:D
