yeah i had a yellow one BITD.
eddie fiola did a demo at our local track and i got him to sign the top tube.
that day i went home (i lived about 1/4m for the track) and it got nicked from
our backyard >:( >:( >:(
twenty odd years later and im still p*ssed off about it :tickedoff:
i wonder how much it would be worth now??

ps- Guys , those grips are only £6.99 plus postage but you need 2 sets to make 1 pair , they are motorbike grips and one is bigger than the other to allow for the throttle :daumenhoch:

Post by: gt0733 on January 10, 2007, 11:05 PM: very nice. you don't see too many yellow frames and it's refreshing to see something different :daumenhoch:

you made me remember how we used to buy motor bike grips BITD because they were better than the plastic crap from the sports shop. anyway, instead of buying 2 sets we would wrap tape around the bar til the grip fitted, and hoped like hell the grip stayed on :idiot2: those were the days huh?
