Title: Big Daddy Back out To play.
Post by: harris on July 20, 2012, 03:36 PM

time to get old faithfull back out ,shes been hidden away for to long
the frames original nickel and could do with a refresh, but like OG so itll stay as is,might add the fresh decals later.
only used parts so i can get out for a nibble with my new bike.
just sorting brakes & fresh cables then were off.

a few scratches are for the best, i like some war wounds on a frame adds a bit of history to the frame. I was going to repowder the condor, but decided against it
