This 2010 CW ZX Hollywood was offered to me last year by a fellow Radster. Originally it was in factory red cosmi-chrome but had chips on the forks and had had a front brake fitted which had scraped away some of the thin brittle coating. So I stripped it back to the base chrome layer and gave it a good old polish. The bars and seat post were standard with the Hollywood package from CW but were red too. They were stripped and kept as chrome.

Then off to SBD it went for a light coat of candy red powder. The results were amazing!!!

After gathering a few bits along the way (Thanks to Woody & Wildon) I went with a mixture of NOS and NEW. After all it is a retro build!
The pictures just don't show how the paint blings :coolsmiley:

I have no more space. I won't be building for myself again unless some go. As for Monty and Lolly, they have told me they want a bike for the rides as they don't like riding their racing bikes on them, which is a fair point. And there's always the 'charity builds', but as for myself. I'm done. Honest Guv :daumenhoch:

Now that's turned out nice Mr. Don't scratch the fooker!! :daumenhoch: :LolLolLolLol:

So I've waited patiently and no ones done it yet, so I'm cracking out the obvious pun for your final build nick
That's quite a swan song dude

:LolLolLolLol: can't believe we all missed that one! ;D
-
Come up pretty good that Nick, looks fantastic :daumenhoch:
Last one? Are you sure? ;)

To answer all the 'last one my arse' comments:
I have no room, unless something goes there will be no more builds for me.
Mrs S G's nippers are growing fast and their bikes will need replacing, Monty has already asked for an old school rider as he's fed up of doing the rides on his race bike, which is fair enough.
And there are the charity builds that the Grimsby & Cleethorpes Old School guys build, so I'll be helping out there too.
As for me, I'm done building. I'll still be riding. The bubble? Who gives a fook about the bubble. It's not about the money.
Thanks for the comments guys, makes the hard work worth it :daumenhoch:
-
Simply stunning ... :smitten:

Idiot!
