cheers mate, to be fair it rides nice and its pretty nippy, even with me on..... i might take it to my old track in leicester, its western park! some of you on here will probs remember the track!

Looks really great, but `on a budget', .... have you totted it up! (or do you just tell the wife it was a `budget build' like most of the lads on here!)

Although, I suppose, you can spend a lot more!!

I'm Leicester too, the old western park track isn't what it was is it? Huncote is more my style, I can ride that a bit!

hi mark, ive not been to western for 20 years, it used to be mint, remember watching top riders there all the time..... may have to pay a visit!

to be fair mate my dp f+f cost more than this build, pretty chuffed with it!

hi mate, the lever covers are plastic just like the sharp ones, i use them on jobs at work believe it not!
i looked at one the other day, and thought, i have a use for you my little beauty!
they are about double that length to start with, just cut to size with side snips, bit of wd 40 and on it went!
they also fit tec3 aswell..... can get shed loads if you fancy a set! for a small fee of course.
