Ok so first retro bike!
This was mine, I bought it new in 1994 from Canada, sold it to my friend in 1997, and has been in storage since then, until a few weeks ago, I bought it back!! not been touched for over a decade!!
What do you think, before and after shots,
Generally a few new bits polished up, and loved again....
Oh its not quite finished, any advice greatly recieved!!
Cheers Tom
sorry the pics are not fantastic...and back to front so first ones are as it is now!!
