Bringing a 93 Kilauea back from the dead

I'm so happy 😁 I just knew it would look good but now the headset is actually fitted it's one of those wow moments for me when you stand back and look at the bike, it's just perfect in my eyes,it blends with the purple and with the other colours depending which way your looking at the bike.

Let the build commence 😊

I know where coming from i'm already looking at the bike thinking oh god what if this happens what if that happens 🤣😂
It's got the vibe of my first ever 89 Explosif when i built it up with all the parts being nos. I literally wouldn't ride it, because of daft things like if i put my feet on the pedals the paint might get damaged, if i pull the brakes the pads will wear i don't think i set the gears up just so i didn't have to put wear on the chainrings or casette 😂🤣😂😂
Never ever will i build a bike again with all nos parts, i can just about cope with a nos headset 😂🤣
