The Pistol Pete my favourite cw ever,probably the best frameset cw made imo with the longest ever top tube,its quite large this beast!!id had several fruitless attempts in the past to get one shipped over from the states but this time i managed to snag one in lovely survivor chrome,with a bit of a tickle and a good 'peek' shes come up lovley complete with a couple of battle scars too!!this ones built almost to factory spec,the only incorrect parts are the crank which should be a one peice takagi set up and the seat which should be a kashi aero,apart from that this is how it would have rolled out of the dealers back in the day,notabally 'hotwheels' in bournemouth who were the uk importers,this is the reason every other kid had a cw around my way back then and i guess why i like them so much,to score this one has made me very happy indeed :D

Word on the street is Mark has bought a NOS chrome snake post and reversed it so the bend is pushing forward. He can finally reach the bars at last.
