Re: Eric66 34L Resto
Yes,would like to go totally original satin black with top clamp and motor but I think the gloss black looks better,still have not decided that's why they have not been painted yet.

Re: Eric66 34L Resto
When your frame comes back from powdercoat & you start putting bits back on, its at that point you start getting in to it. You get drawn in to doing a good job automatically, pulling rusty old bits out of the box & giving a big sigh,,,, Geoff has got it sussed proper now its like a production line he has going on up there in Tenereland, as one bikes coming together he`s sending all the bits off on the next bikes.Ffoxy wrote:I'm still amazed at the skill, dedication & commitment at you guys efforts.... mine will come up short of these top rate restorations on this site.....
