Late 90's SE USA made Quad, I will swap out some parts as and when I get the replacements (wheels, cranks and pedals mainly)

Well up to the usual Dingo standard. Maybe there should be a standard mark, Mark, a bit like the BSI kite.

Nice build.  :daumenhoch:
I've got the same F&F but I've just stripped the blue paint yesterday ready for a good polishing

What is it like under the paint Del?
I had the same idea, I used to have a polished one but someone had butchered the drops so I sold it

Its a bit rough, but after an hour with 1500 wet and dry and then a brillo pad its come up quite nice, I had a go at polishing the rear chainstays before it rained and it came out like chrome! I'll pick up some autosol tomorrow and I'll take some pics when its done.

Yet another Dingo classic.

You really are the polar opposite of MotomagII aren't you.  :LolLolLolLol:

Dingo, I did a bit more polishing today, you can see the difference between the left of the frame and the rear right, this was using a polishing mop attached to a drill. (still no autosol)

Good work Dingo.

Me thinks the back end will be a little long for your we' stumps. You'll never get it to manual shorty! :2funny:

Are those 165mm cranks?  ;D

Cheers Dan,
took it out last week but it felt really long (1" longer rear end, 3/4" top tube than my Kappa and I am only 5'10", Shut it JJ  ;) ) I put a shorter stem on it and I am gonna try it out again on Saturday.it feels more like a cruiser  :LolLolLolLol:
It is really stable though
 :) DINGO :)
