Are you using the fork ears? if not contact Laverdaroo as he's looking for a decent pair. (aren't we all  ) He's also after a decent chainguard if your not using that.

Welcome and what a good starting point!


And, yes I am

Hiya, thanks, I can send you some pictures of them and make me an offer I can't refuse, not sure if they are in good enough condition though. I am using the chain guard though sorry.

Lol, yeah sorry about that!

No worries I'll dig them out and send the photos over soon as I can. Might not be until the weekend now though.

Looking good - are those powder coated original rims?

Yeah, the budget didn't stretch to new wheels unfortunately but they seem to have turned out pretty well.

Not a criticism at all they look really cool - my BiL has told me how good they can look - suits the style you are aiming for bud.

How strange, my wife said exactly the same! Apparently I can't have as many bikes as you though for some reason, but time will tell I suppose. I'm the same, just don't get facetube and all the rest, my username is one I came up with in college about 25 years ago and it's just stuck ever since.

To be fair I was a bit dubious and I fully expected to get shot for powder coating the original chrome wheels, but I really appreciate the positive feedback. They do look good though and your right are the style we are aiming for. I'm lucky as the powder coaters I use have been brilliant and have generally done an excellent job with the whole thing.
