Not bad mate, had to laugh though :2funny:, I saw your Mrs today and she said that you had just got another bike. Obviously does not know you have been working on it for a while, excellent covert operation mate!!!

Should be bike of the month, maybe May?

To much going on on mine i think. Markyp's build is a lot more classy and delicate on the colour front. if you get what i mean. Although i am missing a couple of decals that might balance things out a bit.

lovely build that. Out of interest, how much did the frame and fork rechrome cost you?

south coast said £125 but i took it to asm powdercoatings in weymouth initially to get them to strip off the powder,they deal with s.c.c on a weekly basis and said theyd see the whole thing right thru,bargain!it saved me two trips to poole meaning two arvos off work!the stripping and chroming cost £150 in all and saved me a lost day in wages too!!!
