unfortunately ive stripped 2 bolts in the stem, the bolts that tighten up the forks, i have always been too strong at tightening up bolts, then not been able too undo them, this time they gave up the ghost :'(

my wife gilly said "awww, i liked it better before".      Grrrrrrr....

loving that colour - only observation is that the DXR cranks seem too new school for a quad repro.   

loving the gold match ups though.  can see the SE stamp on the pics

you can see the SE stamp!  must be some reflection you can see as they are completely gone. i know what you mean about the cranks, but this i bike i use all the time and i am over 16 stone, so should be strong enough to take my sumo weight :daumenhoch:
