As most of you know my PL20 has been suffering with 17stone on it, I have snapped another pair of forks, and the frame is really stressed. So I have been on the look out for a new ride, well I bought a powerlite frame and forks last week and spent a couple of hours this afternoon building it up. I already like it lots :smitten:
Quite a bit lighter then the Redline, unfussy 1 piece cranks, wheels i built last year, oh and I replaced the powerlite forks with Tange TX 500s as they are lighter. So what do you lot think??

Nice bike Ratty.
I raced a Powerlite SR (Expert) from 84 to 85ish, I loved it, I still rate it as probably the best race bike I owned in the 80s.
Should that have had those checkerboard decals? If you get any re-done for that let me know, I'll chip in for the re-pops. :angel:
Miles. :coolsmiley:

Tone, that looks lovely mate. Just mind it aint too light.
Sorry to see the old redline retire though.

Miles, it came with a full sticker set, so your more than welcome to scan them etc...
I raced the new baby tonight, managed two seconds and also managed to steer round poor old QUADPAUL who crashed in front of me. Its a bit jittery uo front so I may stick the powerlite forks on it just to see.. But I give it a 9/10 :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

After seeing the last race last night, think it needs SAT NAV to guide you round ALL the course RATTY.
