Cheers, Custard. I have a buddy that can do decals. I'm in need of a full set for the TNT. He's had the f/f for some time now...
 If I do manage to get some then the frame and fork can be re-finished to match! I'm wishing the forks were og to the frame. I'd leave it be...

What year is the Standard Craig?
Title: Re: Hello...
Post by: ELEPHT70 on December 23, 2013, 12:27 PM
'96 or '97 Jake. I'm not too sure the serials can be deciphered to tell year..?
Any/all info I found on The Museum led to somewhere b/w 95-97...

Thanks, Gordy she's getting there. I think I found where the sprocket spacer is to suit a big black chunky one is hiding...
Then to pull out the black Hombres. A few bits and bobs and she's a goer!
