Post by: muddstud on February 05, 2008, 11:19 PM: Hi there i know you have all seen this bike but i can not decide what to do :idiot2:
I was going to leave it as it was and build it with used bits

Get the f&f refinished in red (SBD has that loverly translucent red), polish the CBR BB, get the cranks & bars re-anodised at Custom Colors, grab a polished or red Suntour Mini stem (Longun has one for sale) and rebuild the puppy :daumenhoch: Restoration is deffo the way to go :coolsmiley:. A mix of used and new will look great :daumenhoch:.

Nice. ;)
