I wish I could, the frames not even prepped to go to the powder coaters yet, I honestly don't think I've got one section finished yet, the front forks are close though, wheels still being prepped though. Even the seat which is NOS isn't finished yet as I've decided not to use it and I'll be making another instead, just need to have the seat pan powder coated and new foam and then having a special cover made to complete it. It will be one of those that stays in piecces but when it starts to be assembled it will go together quite quickly. Still planning for next year, around May I reckon.

Having a ash with a couple of the purple ones to see if Iva get out what I wanted. It’s being a bit stubborn but Muddy Waters is on the radio, kettles on and I’ve even remembered to wear some gloves……….get in

Purple might be too fine as yet Roo, unless that's done with a red, if not I find red is my favourite one to use, you can finally see it coming on and it gives you that encouragement to continue.
On the brake rivet things, clean them out with a wire brush, metal not brass and I filled them in with black paint to stop them rusting again afterwards. A little forward thinking saves a lot of effort later.

That was the plan Ken. I was surprised when they came up metal. I’ll not do anything thete til this drudgery is done.
Taken the time since I last posted on the purp’s. Not keen on the dark green they’re a bit full on but the dark grey ones are ace and they’re supposed to be more abrasive. Horses and courses and all that
