I got this bike from an Ebay score in 2011. It was pretty much all og apart from seat. I stripped it all back and had the bars/frame/forks powdercoated old school yellow by SuperBikeDan then built it up using these parts.

Frame - Schauff
Forks - Archiutti (Italy)
Bars - Schauff
Wheels - Grimeca (Italy)
Tires - NOS Orbit Motocross
Seat/Post - NOS Cougar
Grips - Unknown but og to the bike.
Stem - Alps
Crankset - NOS SR 'Grand Silver'
Padset - NOS Flites courtesy of PorkChop
Chain - NOS ACS
Pedals - NOS SR SP515
Headset - Generic for now.

This is my second build and i am pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Regards...Steve:)
