[painter09]

hi guys
just thought i would share this with you, found this 1986 styler in my local bike shop looking tired and sad but the fullbike is there parted with some of my beer tokens for it. any way straight to my local powder coater to see if he could colour match the paint but sadly not. but give it a few weeks and this old school boy will be like new again

frame forks and bars whent to the powder coaters today to be done in white as the only blue he as is to dark, decals will be sourced asap but might not be identicle along with new grips and fingers crossed brakes and seat along with white wall tyres a nice shiny layback seatpost fell into my lap last night so one less thing to find, im hoping to have the bike back together within 2 weeks, one confusing bit is i was led to believe its a styler but decals say mag20 on the forks ? it does have oval tubing if that helps anyone identify the bike and ive seen an identicle one with the same colour,decals but no styler decals. were they also called the styler or is that a completely different bike ? ive added a pic i found on another site for referance.the only difference i can see is my forks dont have the R stamp in the dropouts and the chain guard is different.
