No polishing to bling here fellas.... finishes on parts as they should be  :daumenhoch:

Big thanks to SuperBike Dan..... mate the paint job is dope!!!  :smitten:

Pictures don't really do this justice but hope you all dig it anyways  :daumenhoch:

Parts as follows

1979 Gen 1 Redline Proline Frame & Forks
Redline Flight Cranks -  Pinchless
NOS Redline Flight Chainwheel
