Not really getting anything special for it.. Have quite a bit of stuff lying around, although I di just buy some Maguras [yellow], some Judy SL lowers and some caramel Tioga Psychos 8)

Should look quite....yellow! :roll:

Took you a while to post it - glad to see it hasn't been stripped for parts.

Yeah I did think about stripping it, but it happens to so many bikes, and after the chance to own a Tomac Raleigh fell thru, this project seemed like a great replacement! Thanks again for the heads up on this one mate :wink:

Need a few parts [stem & bars, post and saddle] but other than that, should be finished pretty quickly!

No it popped up in the Farkin for sale section as a Sydney collect only or it was going to the tip.
