Thought I'd take a few snaps of the latest aquisition 8) .

1992 Funk Pro Comp recently on Ebay. Was actually VERY happy when it arrived. From the Ebay ad wasn't expecting it to be in great nick at all but was pleasantly surprised at just how good the condition is... Okay, the replaced dropout is obvious when looking at the trademark Funk rear stays but it's not the horrendous bodge it potentially looked.

Anyway, may be sometime till it gets an update as it's going off to my mate who Spectrachromed my San Andreas for a fresh coat of paint. Probably going with a similar green to the original Funk green (though the rasberry pink is tempting?!)..... But in chrome! :shock: See if Gil has some decals and then at the moment thinking all silver components or lots of carbon.... Will see.

Right, to the pics...

Thanks for looking and looking forward to getting this built 8)

Alex.

Cheers... No, just the frame so will prob look for a rigid option. I know it will be with the sprayer for a good month or so so will see what pops up in the coming weeks or have a modern alternative if need be :).
