Title: Got an opportunity to buy one of these
Post by: Jamroll on September 27, 2011, 11:12 AM: Its been built but never ridden apparently, clean clean frame & forks
I just don't know about it though i.e wot colours to do componnets in etc....not cheap either
I'm sat on the fence lads, always fancied one of these and now i've got the chance I'm not so sure....I'd prefer the blue and white version but pink & black...mmmm

anyhow
