This is how fair i got will finish the bike later today the frame looks spot on was thinking of starting to collect just frame and forks and have them on shelves in my office seems a shame to build on a frame when its perfect

Sweet  :coolsmiley: Looking forward to seeing this built. I know what you mean about collecting frame and fork sets and hanging them on walls though. I love the look of them when they are freshly painted.

Nice collection of bits by the way  :daumenhoch:

That is top notch! 8) great job (Would love a chrome AP and just for future reference I take it when something is that rusty a powder coat is the easiest option? I have seen some miracle chrome resto threads on here though...)

No, not a Tange made full cro-moly aero frame they didn't. That was only on the top of the range Aero Pro Burner. The Koizumi framed Mk2 Cromo Burner is also quality.  8)

All other Mk2's all have the Raleigh made(?) aero oval tubing with the R cutouts on the fork and rear dropouts, and are rather less well thought of round these here parts. Of course we lubs em on Burnerworld  :smitten: :-*
