Title: Craig Schofield old practice/race f/f
Post by: dwab4 on March 23, 2019, 07:43 PM

I'm so honoured to own this, it came up for sale a few weeks ago on facebook and how could I say no , a few people questioned it's authenticity so after a quick pm to Craig he then confirmed it was his old practice/race bike , now the fun begins to try and get this done for mk this year if I can find the parts and funds allow even a few repro parts(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190323/37e4ab1565ab5b9357bfba0152901ea1.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190323/6bb11fd53d57e182bef5ba49c54cd890.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190323/13c9af348ddbd62aff9cfe63e001386d.jpg)

A brilliant bit of history mate, I saw it myself and was tempted but I don’t want the bikes I have now, so shut down the page ASAP.  :LolLolLolLol:

Keep us posted with the build progress, this will be a belter.

Love the survivor finish, assuming that's the case. What route are you going to take with the build - keep it the same spec as CS had or put your own spin on it?

Post by: dwab4 on March 25, 2019, 11:03 PM

I'm going to try a build it to as close to spec as Craig had in the pic, problem I'm having I can only find this one pic in any of the mags I have

I've cleaned the f&f just to remove the rust spots and I noticed that it was team colours originally like his other race bike and I've managed to find the magazine with Craig and Andy in Tenerife (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190401/6810a6bacddaa427964406298b33eddd.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190401/5738622cc8a99d3779e0ec9037d177c6.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190401/235cd8ed05b92ef281dea701250302ab.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190401/a6fa4ed17b13c676a6ee199ebbb3fa54.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190401/541d3b63f386bb831af7c33ac2368eaf.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190401/0134e55f480dfe601b81534b7b4ab6fd.jpg)

Wow...this is cool!
So Andy and Craig were running roughly the same parts.....Never cheap doing rider reps as they always seemed to use 401's bitd
