This is going to be a quality build Andy, it's so individual. Love it.

Looking forward to seeing it all finished at MK!

When ACE folded Richard sold the stock to Superbike who had knocked them out adinfinitum yet only a few remain and only one it seems that we know of :(.  If any ever sees one please let me know  :daumenhoch:.

Is that the place Paul uses Andy? If so, well worth the wait as their work is awesome :4_17_5:

Love this thread - Phil did exactly the same to my brother's white 600a you saw him building up last year at MK and you'd never know, the work is so good :daumenhoch:

some also ended up in a shop in SE london when ACE folded but can't for the life of me remember it's name, but they were advertised in a mag at the time and my dad took me over and bought my one for £35  :)
