When you have uploaded your  photo there should be 3 boxes underneath it, copy everything that is in the bottom box then post it in your reply and your photo should show up  :daumenhoch:

V bars, a straight/fluted post and a Lightning Bolt seat (or similar $$$  ::)) would look great on that bike but that's an awful lot of bike for the money. :daumenhoch:

Look what turned up in the post this morning,a bit more period correct i think.



A bit of work to do on the rims,polish and re-anno but not bad for 31 euros and 22 euros for the hubs.Bit of a dilemma though,do i get the hubs done in black or keep the colour scheme as it is?
