What do I win?

 

[BIG JAY 257]

hmmm what do you win,, well now you have given me the info on the frame im gunna strip the paint off and re-paint, im gunna have some nice decals made so you win the knowledge that you have helped a fellow human being (i use this term lightly) with inspiration all i need now is to save for the thumb shifter i seem to have lost,,, oh bugger
