A bit of an update on this now. I managed to get some forks for it, thanks Dan and the BB threads were fine so i got busy with some full fat nitromors and stripped it down.
Paint is in order as I changed my mind about powder coating it.

Ive given it a couple of coats of primer. I’m going to flat it back with some 2000 grit paper next and hopefully all being well it’ll be ready for some paint then.

I painted this using Spray.bike white but wasnt happy the finish so flatted it off and tried Nissan pearl white instead. Still wasn’t happy so went for my usual Montana gold paint and Im a lot happier with the finish.
I put most of it together with parts from my old Kona Explosif. Mostly Xtr M900 and Xt 732.
Ive just put a cheap saddle on it for now but will look at either a flite or ti velo when i get round to it.
It looks very arse up head down so I’m going to see how it feels to ride before getting decals for it.
