I decided on a mix of blue,chrome 'n gold parts so I've been slowly sourcing stuff over the last 3 months that will do the frameset justice..

Class! You've a pair of belters there Ady. My last one (a Springer Spaniel) just loved finding a dead bird and rolling his shoulders on it. He loved the beach too.
