Title: Just for you Pete! (Quadrophenia) AT LAST PICS!
Post by: munners on November 19, 2007, 05:22 PM
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.

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 ;)

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:
