So I couldn't wait for Carl's ride to get on this, so got a lever, calliper, chain and cable, also a new set of decals off Del. Del lengthened the frame tube decal, to hide the nastiest of Chrome peel, but it's 33 years old and did what I could with it.

I did salvage the original dealer sticker, that had been stuck on very squwiff, it peeled off in one, so used some spray adhesive, and reapplied it.

I'm going to get a pad set for it eventually, but for now, it's done.

















Special Thanks to:

Martin/Hurricane1 - Frame & Forks
Nathan/Macmania - Hsin Lung bars

New decals - Del

I'm not a fan of Tuffs on a bike, but Torkers always look great wearing them  :coolsmiley:
