Hello, nice bike, hope to see it on the trails. I hope this because I represent MacRetro sub forum on here and you are a Scot and thus I'd like to welcome you into our sub forum if you'd care to stick your head round the door.
Plus if you ride with us you get one of those cool tartan banners you'll see by my avatar.
Plus I had a shed full of bike junk I need to off load so always looking for new victims
