Finally finished!! (AMP B4) - opinions please.

Just finished my AMP B4 last night, and now it's bloody raining so can't take it out for a quick spin (it's going to be a dry only bike )

Couple of things I want to change. First, the seat. I had a red flite but it didn't match the red Ringle bits (it looked orange), I'm not sure about the black Flite, perhaps with a silver post? Second, the chain rings. I really need a red middle (or silver) and a silver outer with red outer chain ring bolts.

So, can I have your opinions please, this is my first effort at a Retro Rebuild, criticism/recommendations appreciated.

Lovely! always had a softspot for amp's. would love a b3 or 4 one day... you cant go wrong with a black flite either imo.

Very nice! Always liked Amp B4's

Ooh gert lush me babber!

Very very very nice!!!

I hope mine looks this good when it's finished! Hmmm red is off my colour scheme choice now though... blue or purple?

ps, The black flite looks spot on IMO.

Sweeet! But you need a red outer ring middleburn of course. Guess what your uncle Al has one in his magic box! Also dump those gash qr s you need the original ones in red. But who on earth would have a set! Only me thats who.

pm me we can talk. Cheers, Al for all your retro desires!



But nothing purvy like.

man, that rocks!

Love those Forks!
A wonderful thing about AMP bicycles is that they still provide parts and
tech support for owners! Now thats quality service
