I just transported over the GT '85 bike that i imported from the US. Not sure if i should strip it and clean her up and put it back together or go for the full refurb in Fiola yellow. I would love to get some advice please. It is a full GT spec bike. It has a few scratches on her but not one crack,reweld or dent and its a true survivor!
Hope you like.

yeah, sort the seat out give a wipe down......
Perfect :daumenhoch:

Nick that is lovely although as you like things minty, I'm guessing you will do a full resto on this baby :D. Personally i'd leave as it is. Good to see piccy's of it finally. Proper survivor though mate, nice one :daumenhoch:
-
Leave it ;) You can always build a show bike but you can't bring back a survivor ... a good wipe down is all that needs ;)
-
It has all been taken to pieces and polished up with tcut. The tuffs are in bleach as we speak. Survivor it is. Im gonna ride it too. Will take it to MK next year. Cant wait!
-
Nice one Nick, look forward to seeing it at MK next year :smitten:
-
Nice survivor, leave it as is mate!
I love Fiola reps but there's just far too many of them in my opinion, for what that's worth.
Daz. :daumenhoch:

Spent today cleaning her up. Regreased all the bearings, t-cutted and gave the tuffs a quick bleach over the last 2 days. Spanking clean now apart from the chips on the paint. Just need to put a brake cable on it. Love it. :smitten:
