Hiya fellas as some of you may know i picked this up a while back
(http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r559/chubby1971/2012-10-21172906.jpg)
was happily planning a full blown resto, then posted some piccys on here & the general reaction was to leave as is.
I thought id give it a go, so touched in the worst bits & sourced the parts that i didn't have in the pile & this is what came out the other end

After talking to katie Vincent she contacted vf test rider Paul glennon who is certain it's his old frame :shocked:
obviously no real way to prove it but his Airzone had the same stickers in the same places & it came not too far away from where he lived... So 2+2=fook knows be nice if it was though....

As said already matey, well done for leaving as is and not getting it re-powdered :daumenhoch: It looks just like a real 80's bike and not something put together in 2012 with 80's parts too.

How about finding a nice used seat in a totally random colour like..green or lavender?Will give it an authentic 80's look as no one had perfectly colour matched bikes back then it was more what you could nick off your mates!! :daumenhoch:
