Re:

Nice score. Any idea what year it is; 1990 something or other?

Re:

I think it's an 88 mate. I think they had canti's f&r by 89 or 90

Re:

I just had to reread the thread to understand why the larger frame had the older decals.

The Rough Stuff Fellowship decal is cool

Re:

This one had decals in just about every place I've ever seen them!



All removed now though

lovely FB frame.

Thanks Frank

Our homegrown frames don't get much love from across the pond

Re:

Decided to stick with yellow decals so sent a piece of the old ones off to Gil to get a colour match. Picked up this yellow Turbo from eBay - not exactly pristine but can't complain for £4.71 posted! It'll probably suit the build better than a minty one anyway.

Re:

Definitely having sellers remorse now! :shock:

So pleased to see the old girl being cherished though - I spent a lot of time with her on Woodbury Common, near Exeter, back in the day, and went to a couple of races too. Always got loads of attention - a rare and admired bike even back then.

Looking forward to seeing it all come together. Saw your PM mate - you sure about that Christmas deadline?

We may well have been in some of the same races at Woodbury

Thinking about it, Christmas is closer than I thought
