Thanks for the kind comments gents. Glad you all like it!

The shark fin was on the bike when I got it, so it had to go on! :)

Never had one, always wanted one, still want one.

That's one of the best builds I've seen. Still one of the best looking bikes ever IMO. Credit to you and your attention to detail 8)

It's a dirty rotten job, but someone's got to do it.

Tell you what, save you the trouble, I'll take it up onto the Mendips for you. Can't say fairer than that, I mean, what are mates for?

What a fantastic piece of 90's popular culture you have there!

This is really is at the point where art and engineering collide and capture the age in which it was made. Some bikes just do this so well, I hope to own one one day.

I bet it cost you a little more than £600 this time round!

Just a little bit :? A lot of the Campag bits came from America which is ok until customs get you :cry:

Worth it though as its just how I wanted it...just don't tell the misses :)
