Some of you may have already seen this.

Purchased from original owner with a few parts missing. Cleaned and rebuilt using original parts that the owner had fitted when new. Original paint and decals. Calipers and levers were missing which I have now added. Original bike had Tech 3s but fitted Tech 4s as I only have a right Tech 3 at the moment (looking for blue left tech 3). Bike had Shimano DX pedals fitted but were also missing so I have fitted Victor DX pedals.  :daumenhoch:

I would like it sat in my garage bro  ;D

It's nice to post and show our wares but, as long as you are happy with it, that's all that counts  :daumenhoch:

I like the look of it but I would take off that front brake for sure  :)

The only thing I'd do would be take the decal off the seat post other than that it's a corker   :daumenhoch:

Very nice. Are both tyres 1.75's? I'd like to see a 2.125 up front myself.  Other than that, tops. :daumenhoch:
