Did some brief mods for a week or so (rode it of course ;)) and then stripped it.....and been collecting parts ever since...

Sorry, that was not on the bike when I got it, or the pads. I think that some bits where put on a white 85 Master and sold on the bay and sent to Ireland.

I have loads of green bits because two of the bikes that I have had green bits on to start with.

Green is getting pretty hard to find (for all items) and also as most parts have come from the US, when winning items on the bay or through forums I have bought whatever else is available to reduce postage and make sure that I never run out.

The pic with all the bits is last autumn, I now have a box full of green stuff, multiple - seat clamps, powerdiscs, pegs (24 and 26 Tpi) cables, brakes, chainwheels, headsets, tuffs, acorns, skyway and vans pads etc etc....2nd / 3rd in line project is a Harrods Special - green and gold... I knew that I should keep some green  ;)
