Many thanks to HUTCHMAN (Dave) for letting me have my original A5 back and many thanks to Del for cutting me a new decal from my scan!

Top fellas.

Hmmmmm, not sure...work in progress below, I've put a fatty GT tyre for the front (rather than the Comp III's) and I do have a set of black DX to put on.

But it just doesn't look as good as it did with all the black bits on...oh, and then I'd have to re-build the Mini Pit Performer to match and find some white alloy hub tuffs...so, I might just put it all back to the black parts...

I think it looks briliant mate , The DX and alloy hub tuff would look a bit better IMO, but i love to see bikes like that with the old photos,keep it like that .....................
