Title: Budget Dirtbike
Post by: thebigdog on September 17, 2013, 09:19 PM

Picked up as a bit of miss match of 80s & 90s parts, & a horrible home camo paint job, sold the 80s bits and replaced with some more suitable parts.
Thankfully the black paint was just aerosol and came off with elbow & spirits, so its back to its og paint, some of the green paint has pulled off but i like the used tarnished look 8)
I think the total cost of the whole bike has cost around £90ish

Thanks all  :Great_Britain:

Really looks nice in the flesh ,the pictures dont really pic up the survivor-ness (new word?)
of the frame ,it has nics/marks & paint loss ,which just finishes it off nicely  :coolsmiley:
