Here's one for the new year......
I picked this up as a complete bike in August (Ebay find) and stripped a bit of the spray can respray back to reveal the original colour (green to pearl white fade) as well as the transfers. The owner had no idea what come over him to respray it, but he was young at the time!
This will be going to get a respray in the new year, and will be build up with whatever I can find to start with. However, over time I would like it to be full period correct Super Record, with some very lightweight wheels (18mm Assos?).
Can't wait to get it on the road to be honest as I have wanted a 753 SBDU for a long time. I have had other SBDU's and other 753's, but never the two in one!
Anyway, here is a few pics to document the start of the build process.
Cheers
Matt
