anyone remember the silver frame n forks i had for sale a while back ?

well as there was no takers i decided to rebuild it, just about there and i'm really pleased with the way it's turned out.

sorry it's been a while, not had chance to do much else.  here are some pics of progress so far though, there is still lots more cleaning to do as you'll see in some of the pics and some of the parts will be getting replaced with ones in better condition.

arh gli you have a keen eye...

all the cables are nos, inners and outers.

the r nut is mint, and most of the parts have had quite some time spent cleaning them.
