this is how i got it

As i always hated the show polished up rippers i decided just to clean it up and a little buf over the og alu
it turned out really nice

The old owner drilled some little holes for the mudguard :idiot2:

ow well here is the frame and fork including the og decals still on it
I like it this way

I had some Blue araya's in my shed and added some Nos tioga tyres on it
added some other parts and this is how it is now
I like it and will respoke the wheels and get some Blue grips also and a chain ....
Maybe i will change the cranks for some opc takagi 175 whit blue powerdisc, but i have to think about that

judge yourself
