another harry leary """ FINISHED """"
Juju:
Too many HLT's in "immaculate restored" condition floating round these days.
Putting it back as an electric blue and chrome Team Pro bike and finding blue sugino maxy cross style DB 3pc would be a whole lot more interesting to the retro scene.
A bike like the early DB ads, with Pro Stars being advertised underneath.
The HLT is my least favourite of the top end DB's - finish too brittle, a little too "bling" with its Turbo parts. Clumsy overbuilt 3pc, too much "chrome parts". And when completed - People tend to "showcase them" not actually "ride" them due to their value.
The owner will also know its not a "Harry Leary" but a nice fake - I think the rear drop out angles will always show the frame to be what it is. Just my 5 $. But my least favourite it may be, but still a fabulous bike. what ever you do with it. This isn't meant to be a negative post, just a suggestion to do something even more interesting.
