I don't know how you guys find the time/money to do all these bikes, I am struggling along trying to get one bike done, but still get tempted by "bargains" on ebay and this forum! Pete your wife must be a saint!

I went the 'buy an original UK bike' route but it's been a nightmare finding the parts and I am still looking for some of them and probably may never find them. UK supplied early bikes are generally well used during their early lives and fitted in the 70's and 80's with later model parts (mine had K2 seat, HM341's,K1 wheels etc etc) Oh and the crank was Sh***ed but surprisingly the top end was fine (usually the other way round).Cheers ... AshDAsh pm sent about a rolled rear rim for your k0..
