Here is the start of my last build for a while going working away for a few months should get the bike finished tomorrow.
Started on the stem today it had been sprayed black so took the paint off it came off nice looks ok will give it a polish in morning with the other parts.
Cleaned the wheels up then give them a light coating with gold spray paint.
may sand the rim and shine the sides up see what you guys think???????????
I have a lot of nos parts for this thanks to radpitt. and a big thanks to the guy on here i got the seat and seat clamp
Will update tomorrow with a lot more pics when finished
