Title: Two of Four well on the way.....
Post by: WINI on April 14, 2011, 09:33 PM: I love getting back from the powdercoater and adding decals and nice shiny bits. My two faves at the moment, '83 curved bridge T/A and an '85 World Tour. Both needed love, the GT was 75% original, and the T/A needed forks. Got a pair of Tange from an Aero Pro that look the part until I find a set of sensibly priced originals (maybe never then...). Also on with a Firebird Freestyler and a Rebel Freestyler. No rest for the wicked! >:D

Together after resto, more pics to come as I find more parts. Got some pre resto somewhere but can I find 'em? Can I fook

Post by: ozone on April 15, 2011, 07:20 AM: The Aero forks look fine to me. Apart from the dropouts, there's not a lot of difference. ;) :daumenhoch:
