 :LolLolLolLol:  I wondered when you might be along Dave  :D


One of my favourite bikes at MK this year , love it  :smitten:   

Attention to detail is up there with the best , the little custom touches are what make your builds stand out Phil , the hubs , ch'ring , drilled caliper , the stem , radiall lacing ... the list goes on and on  :coolsmiley:.

I didn't think you would top that March Turbo from MK11 but this is up there as my favourite build of yours .

 :4_17_5: i raced one of these  for 4 years, still got mine too and my Whitehawk race shirts, same frame W31X, wasnt this one W32X?

Awesome build to phil, you always do them justice :daumenhoch:

Still would like to find a Pro one day, although i'm sure phil would do a better build

Think they made a few pit bikes too, remember Jamie Morley having one, Whitehawk team rider then moved into freestyle and rode for skyway  :daumenhoch:
