Tasty.

I still ride a 91 Murray Holmes bought in 92, but it had orange/yellow piss-take 'hot temper' tubing decals, with 'linear guidance' on the forks and 'holeshot velocity' on the chainstays I think.  I stripped them off to clean-up the look bitd.  Anybody seen them, got pics of them or (long-shot)know where I can get my hands on the decals?

Thanks Ben, planning on riding it every now n then so was gonna leave the pedals alone, apart from tatty end caps they're not in bad shape...

A pozi stop arrived for it today courtesy of Rob (boofy44).... Thanks dude....  :4_17_5:

got one on my robbo, tweaked it a bit to get a better cable line, it needed a longer bolt and a couple of washers to move the barrell out to one side slightly, I thought it would be an improvement to the brake but it took some fiddling to get it right. Good luck and get some nitromors on them pedals! the anodize comes off easy, 10 mins work and a set of end caps really made a difference to mine. Spot on build tho mate, I really want a chrome holmes now...  ???
