653 Reynolds, Special Projects Division, Custom Build, all original paintwork and head badge, it's been pre-loved Finally competed her today, I thought long and hard about retro or modern build but in the end I thought round here I'd rather have 10 big gears to play with than 8 not so big. Now...

Bars and stem came today, good condition and well packaged. Comms could have been a little better but we got there in the end. Thanks
