Hi guys, i am new to this forum. I built a custom Bristol Avenger MTB 59cm back in 1990.
I have ridden more miles with that bike than driven my cars, i have restored many classic cars in my time.
But now i want my bike with NOS which i got many components from 1987-1990 with the oldest being 1960-1970.
The problem is i recently re-dipped the frame and forks in chrome, but the guy did a terrible job and now its been sanded down so much it's lost it's welding marks and it's ripple (wonky reflections).
This happens when people/businesses say they know what they are doing when they know jack.
That's a bit about me, i forgot to say something when i first posted, apologies for that. also I'm not sure if i should or can post pictures of the before and after and the NOS i got for it.
I can recover this myself but it's going to be costly, i have the skill set to achieve this. But i need to stop before i start flogging a dead horse.
So Does anyone have a Bristol Avenger MTB 59cm, or know anyone who has one to sell?...
