Post by: HUTCHMAN on February 05, 2010, 10:42 PM: Neil,that 2 n 1 is intriguing me,the knurling isn't what i'm used to seeing. Do you know if it's a very early one? If you do split (which i hope you don't) i would be interested in it. The bike's colour coordination looks spot on,very nice build.

Dave.

Post by: Bob_Acid on February 06, 2010, 12:46 AM: why no complete bike shot?

Did torker do the 280x in anything other than chrome? i know they did the lpx in white.

Anyway i'm not sure i'm allowed to say anything bad on one of your posts Neil as it makes me out to be one of the bad boys but if i could i'd say nice parts and all that but you shouldn't have painted it yellow cos it's been done before like an red XR3i in 88.

Chrome, chrome, chrome.

leave it as it is and sell for less than it cost you to build.. like all the others do . or just give it away... ;D
