It was a bit sad until 6 weeks ago - now it looks like new.

deeman - agree on the snake bellies but my original build had Comp 3s (actually, cheap copies that I still have!) and I wanted it back to how I had it (the comp 3s were better racing tyres IMHO and I raced it at 3 Sisters in Wigan bitd). Of course, I didn't have graphites back then but, now that I can afford it, they are my one big indulgence, having lusted over them all those years ago.

Am loving this site - so many fantastic builds and fantastic memories.

I totally understand man, there are certain things which you just have to have the same! tyres was a big one for me too! I also made a few choice upgrades I would never have been able to afford bitd!

That is a great story and what a bike to have today, let alone bitd :shocked:

Welcome to the site and enjoy riding your childhood bike again - you are indeed very lucky to have it still :coolsmiley:

Taipan:
Superb bike fella  :daumenhoch: plus a great story to go with it  :daumenhoch: I'm interested to know have you a pic before the restoration? how bad was it? and what exactly did Allan's do for you/the build? as I can't see many re-pop parts on it for Allan's lol  ???

Mattdub:

Awesome, great to have your OG bike back in your life  :daumenhoch:

Phil B:
Thanks for the interest guys. If you look on Alan’s Facebook page there’s a whole story about the restoration together with some before and after pictures. Let’s just say me and Pastel Dukux had a bit of a thing in the 80s!
