Hi all sorry it's been a while, the 'just bolting bits back on' took a lot longer than expected! Progress has been slow but yesterday was the first time riding the bike in nearly a year! As I've had some great input from the forum I thought it only fair to share some pics... Hope you like it! Kinda different now...

There are still some things I want to change / play with but I'm looking forward to getting some
Miles on her.

Have a good festive period folks hopefully next pics will be a far muddier affair!

Sorry for the delay in response... Yeah tires are TKC 80 they seem to give a decent compromise for me as I ride a fair few trails would prefer a bit more bite up front but not keen on the idea of a more aggresive tire on the road
