Nice. Cut my teeth on a 600a I did... Get it dipped, powder it white, fresh decals, some red Tuff II's, Lightning bolt Elina seat, garnish the rest with the usual titbits, and voila!  :daumenhoch:

Evening Mr Saunders  :daumenhoch: , yeah I bump into your dad sometimes .

The 600a looks a bit sad right now so restoring it would be cool  ;) . If you can then get it indoors for the time being so it does'nt get any worse over the winter that would be ideal , keep it anywhere like under the bed/in wardrobe etc .

Matt

think it may be a bit far gone for a re-chrome, it will be pitted to fook and you probably wont be happy with the re-chrome, only my opinion anyhow, good luck with it, defo worth restoring though... :daumenhoch:

Have done a bit of research on chroming and the pitting can be filled with a heavier coat of copper and a reprep before the rest of the plating.I have owned this bike over 25 years and i think it desearves a bit of pampering. :daumenhoch:
