My latest & probably last
« on: February 20, 2011, 05:33 PM »
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  8)







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

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

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



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

The decals & seat came from Del  8)  again big thanks for your help  :daumenhoch:

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  8)

Just put the decals on  8)

The only thing I hate is, after putting the decals on, I don't want to build it because it looks so good  :( >:( :-\ :-*

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  ;)
