Thanks John. It was in really good condition when I purchased her and I have done some bits and pieces this winter which have made her even better. I may not know as much as some about the mechanics of these bikes (although I will have a go at anything) but I am ultra fussy about detailing and presentation. Will post a new pic in a few weeks when she's fully back together.
Regards
Julie

Thanks Julie,

Nice one; look forward to seeing more.

You've remotivated me for my next garage session this weekend.... although your garage looks somewhat more cosy than mine!

I forgot to mention I am not OCD. The bike is as perfect as I can get it the first ride of the year, after that she's lucky if she has a bucket of soapy water thrown over it for the next 6 months !!!. I like to ride my bikes in the summer, not spend all the time cleaning her   ::) ::) ::)
