and now my dirtbike -
This was inspired by Alex Leech's bike form the 90s - this was TATTY, so I had Geoff Cain do a load of metal work on it, including removing the lugs... so it now looks liek the early 90s model. this is actually the double dropout frame, and I believe you could specify whether to have lugs or not - I love the look of a dirtbike with a pitbull!
Painted by SBD, decals by Del -
