Curtis Expert , in really good nick. Hes let me have it now (for a bit of work done on his van) ;D. Went to pick it up just recently and stayed the weekend, checked out the track there too (the tumps) :daumenhoch: and had too check the booty again just incase. Some matey had a raleigh burner mk2 with added parts which he sold for Â£70.00 and 1 gold araya front wheel which i got for Â£1.00. Dont know what it is about that booty but he keeps getting bargains , the latest is a full Dianese upper body armour almost new Â£5.00. Is the area a hot spot for Curtis bikes, they were made close by?
Hope you enjoyed the pics, ive now stripped it and will give it a clean up ;)
Oh anyone got any Curtis bars by the way.

Nnitromors mate, if you take it off uick enough i wont damage the mags. ive stripped a few sets of skyways like this.

Superb find like, strip , polish (autosol) strip the mags and re-build. Then thrash it :daumenhoch:

A very nice survivor :smitten:
