survivor build mate :daumenhoch:
-

-
Sell it to me , that way you don't have to decide :daumenhoch:
-
Sell it to me , that way you don't have to decide :daumenhoch:
:2funny: Even I dont have it quite yet, just getting some views :coolsmiley: Gonna go all out on this one as this will be my finishing piece :daumenhoch: (it is Stu, I promise)
-
That's a toughie ::) :-\
I'd be tempted to just do as a survivor , personally 8)
You could always change your mind later when it's completed ,if it ain't doing it for you :-\
You could then sell it on as is ,,or keep and do the full resto :)

until the next one that is :D
oh and survivor as its only original once :daumenhoch:
-
Dub-step is right Tel - do it survivor first, then resto if it's not floating your boat.
Or as my bro Simon (Hootski) said, sell it to us up here in Sheffield, we'll look after it >:D
-
Survivor will always be tatty.
Make it look like new!

Great comment that, it covers you.
I think the fork paint and rear end could be too far gone though for any sort of tidy survivor.
-
Yeah, leave it as a survivor, then restore it if you don't like it :daumenhoch:
-
Keep as a survivor and ride it until next autumn and then restore it.
Oh, by the way. When you said final build, did you only mean with freestyle bikes? ;D
Look forward to seeing what you do Terry. :daumenhoch:
-
Seeing how nice Pickles retro goose is turning out I would say restore it. :daumenhoch:
-
Restore for 'me... Tatty looking bikes just don't look right on show, mint all the way!
-
If it was a good survivor I would keep it but restore on this for me :'(
-
Survivor will always be tatty.
Make it look like new!
Then you can get the full enjoyment from it as a new bike, then ride it and leave it as a survivor for your next of kin :daumenhoch:
-
i love a survivor but thats a little too tatty . id restore it . :daumenhoch:
-
Yeah, I have to agree. Unfortunately, that's a little too far gone. If it was a full bike, I'd maybe suggest keeping it survivor state - but as it's only a frame & forks, full resto for me :daumenhoch:
Lovely farmeset by the way :smitten:
-

Dude, I have just bought it and it's not even landed in the UK yet ::) This is NOT for sale :yahoo_silent:
Just trying to get some honest feedback on whether I shoul destroy the 1979 paintwork and decals OR leave as is :-\
Do you guys think the Fork is chrome under the paint?? Maybe I could strip the fork and leave the frame??

The fork is probably well preserved super shiny nickel!!
Could be very nice looking!
Kind of like the Decoster of Stidds :smitten:

As Yannick says, candy over nickel :smitten:

I have had a chat to the previous owner in a bit of detail now via PM's and it appears that the frame and fork will most probably be Nickel under the paint work as previously mentioned by Rad Rat :daumenhoch:
If it is, then I will most probably like to get it stripped, polished and then candy blue over the top again to keep it protected for at least another 32 years :smitten:
Would and does SBD do this or does he just do powder?
I know, I know, just PM the man and ask :LolLolLolLol:
