Cripes.......I cant remember the last time I posted on here!

Brought this last year and have been working on it intermitently when time allowed. In all honesty it wasn't in too bad a condition when I got it so it didn't need a lot of work, more a tidy up!

I wanted to resto as few parts as possible for the sake of originality so I stripped it, gave it a t-cut and polish, gave the chrome a real "going at" with a tube of nobshine. With the rarity of prismatic decals I custom-made some. Stripped the mudguards and repainted. Replaced a couple of mudflaps, some new Union peddles and greased her up like a Christmas Turkey!
I finished putting her back together this morning and blatted her round the block a few times.......I have to tell you she rides perfectly.....just how I remember!

Here's the photo's

I'm always filled with a mix of both sadness and happiness when I've finished a bike!.........I dont know if It'll get ridden or just end up gathering dust as part of an evergrowing selection.

For the right price I may be persuaded to part with it........Just so as I can do it all over again!!!!

Thanks for looking

Arch
