Post by: deeman on January 24, 2012, 06:22 PM: Welcome mate,so it was you who found the vincent!Its lovely and im sure i speak for many members on here when i say that a.i'm jealous and b.you should restore it back to its former glory,especially as its your old bike.ive just built a replica of my old bike (see PR RACING STYLER in old school freestyle for some more british freestyle lovliness :Great_Britain:)but i would love to have my original frame back.All the resources you need are on here along with a great bunch of people who are more than willing to assist you.Your first stop would be SuperBikeDan for a repowder by the looks of things!it will look amazing and its a lovely rare bike,even if you hang it on your wall,its still a piece of your history!Good Luck and hope to see some pics soon!

Good Stuff!you'll be glad you did when its finished and your skint!but its amazing how memories of usually happier and simpler times come flooding back,and you cant put a price on that!First thing to do is get a site supporter tag,this will allow you to buy and sell in FOR SALE section.depends on your budget for the SKYWAYS.new reproduction ones are 60-70 quid,but to do such a rare old frame justice and really make the build nice,look out for original white alloy hubbed tuffs,which are usually around 150 for a nice set.Del is the decal man on here and should be able to help you out with decals.Although be patient as he has had some technical difficulties lately.keep an eye out on ebay too but stuff like white ally hub tuffs always make silly money on there.Be patient and watch the for sale section like a hawk as most stuff you need usually comes up(eventually!).Also ive found alot of bits by placing ads in Wanted,people on here are more than helpful!Good luck and get some pics up in old school freestyle or restoration and tech!good luck!! :daumenhoch:
