Its been nearly a year building/sourcing the parts for this baby, but shes nearly done:
Tried to keep it near as stock as possible...just waiting on some white tuff pads and some little finishing touches...
the flash makes the tuffs look much yellowy than they are..

That's bloody lovely - I might do a Redline as my next build. What year is this (guess it's a PL20 - know more about Kuwie's than Redline I'm afraid).
Any details on the parts you have used to keep it stock - would be very interested to see this!
Nice work indeed....................

Love it I want one :smitten:

Martin ,
Am I allowed to show it's previous incarnations ( this looks good on you ;) ) ? .

of course, Matt, go ahead, I've only seen the one pic..
BTW (hijacking my own thread here ;) )
On the new frame I have, i want it to be a rider...but a nice one.
Should I keep her as is, or re-powder? if i re-powder, i was gonna go for the same look as the bike above..
Your thoughts appreciated, gents:
