I'd love to do that to my bike, but I have to use it everyday to get to work, I do clean it every four days to keep on top. But I'd love to strip it and revamp it top to bottom great work
look check and look again  then you see the fool

Finished - a bit more work than I initially envisaged but overall it turned out nice - didnt know what I thought of the wheels but with all the new black on the bike they fit in well

thanks to our Barmy for all the parts I got from him  :onya:

oh and note to self - when youre taking bit off your bike make sure you note the way they go back on - bloody stupid tilt sensor  :angry: :rolleyes: :grin:

The problem with retirement is that you cant take a day off
