Build

I was looking on ebay for some 401s & saw this......

I've always loved these, so because it was just before Christmas, I set my auction snipper & left it

I cleaned it up, but the paint was just to far gone, so off to SBD

I put another shaft in the stem & that got painted as well.

I'm still cleaning the wheels & they are starting to look good

The bars had to be rechromed & big thanks to Swivel for sorting those out for me

The decals & seat came from Del

again big thanks for your help

Time to fit decals & think about starting to build

I'm going to need a Black headset, Black grips & some Black Panaracer freestyle tyres

Think I've got everything else

Just put the decals on

The only thing I hate is, after putting the decals on, I don't want to build it because it looks so good

$:-\$

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #21 on:** February 23, 2011, 12:49 AM »

take a picture of it like it is now - then blow up the size and put the picture on the wall - that way you will always have it look good both ways - frame only and then built up
