Post by: Gashead on June 14, 2015, 02:25 PM

For me it's this, don't know why.....


Custome colour, and bits painted you wouldn't normally see (spider) - wrong tyres, which are about to be changed, but I simply love it

Good thread , deffo been a few, some high end stuff as well.

But probably this bully piston , paid £100ish for it as a complete survivor ebay find. The only thing i did was strip it down & do a light clean up. The tyres ,saddle & grips were shot, but were changed for exact new items.
Lovely bike to ride.  :)

That's a fab resto John, and very underrated, the old catalogue specials. Budget bikes for the parents BITD, but regarded as rare by the collectors now.  :4_17_5:
