Well here is my new ride... still needing a few tweaks and adjustments. And a clean up on the skyways & tyres. But it's all there. :D Not to everyones taste I'm sure but it's as I wanted it.
Was in a bad way and needed a lot of work...

Spraying the bike. Poor lighting conditions in my enclosed garage.

I know I wanted to do a team and already had some black skyways so I based a scheme around this. Here is the final preliminary sketch done before hand using photoshop... thanks for the bike andy ;)

My one and only goal this year is to source an Aero Pro Burner frame and forks so that I can build up the bike I had as a kid.
Just bought the new one but still desperate for an original.
-
May sell this one zippy later in the year if you're still after one... or swap for some kind of OS freestyler.
-
Give me first refusal on it will you. :daumenhoch:
-
Will do zippy... Don't need 2 really. :D
