Have begun the resto, had this for ages and not done nothing with, just got it back from the powder coaters, look great for £20.  Also NOS mk2 forks ready to fit.  Don't have any wheels for it so may customise with some black mags, saw another on this site and was inspired!

£20 bargain looks very good

Moving on with the build.  Now cranks were ther two different types?  This Mk2 has arms marked with a T and so does my Silver Super but my black super has cranks marked with ND and they are slightly more rounded.

Are they the same length? If they are longer they may be from a bomber

AHHH, yes they are slightley longer!

Mag wheels fitted, this has become a custom.  Super bars and rat traps.

I got a lovely set of Grifter pedal arms if ya wanna swap??

Bike is complete so I took it for a ride.  However the rear wheel is really wobbly, lot's of vibrations, does this mean that it's buckled?  Not had much expierience with mags!

Bomberman - Sorry but I think I will keep what I have, thanks though.

Where are the pics!  
Are the cones tightened up OK on the wheel or is there some play?

Cones are ok and no play, rear wheel seems OK.  Going to strip the front to see if the problem lies there.

Heres some pics, still need to fit wheel reflectors.

Great pics   love the colour on black & white shot.
Has everyone given up on mudguards    

I have 2 supers and 2 mk1's all original.  I am not really that keen on blue/red Mk2's so hence this became a custom, no guards and such.

LOOKING GOOD  

superb pics mate!  the chrome is looking shiny

The Bernardi mags you are using which were commonly fitted to the Raleigh Wildcats and some Mag 20's are known for miss-shaping. They tend to 'bob' up and down when you ride the bike. The heavier you are, the worse the 'bobbing'.
My Wildcat did it quite bad but i managed to get hold of another which had better wheels.

Ok  Stripped both wheels and regreased all barings and  reasembled and as OSK says it still bobs up and down so Gonna have to live with it ultil I gan afford some better mags!
