VDC restoration. BIG JOB!!!!!

[tonycoutts]

I got a VDC Changa off ebay. Some of you will have seen it. I have been after a Changa for ages. It needed quite a bit of work but a really unique opportunity and thought what the hell let's do a full resto job! Voris Dixon is working wonders on it right now. The first Changa he has done a resto job on since working on them since the 1980's. Very exciting. Only thing is I need forks and decals which will be a long shot. Any tips at all. I am from the UK but based in Australia at the mo. Ta

Give Del a try for the decals mate, he might be able to help you out.  As for the forks, I reckon you've either got to be A) very patient and watch ebay sites and forums around the world, or B) Find a non VDC that looks right and dont worry about being spot  on.

I've just got back from 4 months in Oz, where are you based?

yep, del does them and did these in red for me....








any excuse!

Fook me judging by Voris Dixon's recent newschool VDC frames I would rather have Stevie Wonder work on my frame.

Welcome to RAD Tony  , sounds cool that Voris is doing the work all these years later . As above , forks may take time but Del for decals

Del did my decals for my black Changa and I know he has done the chrome one's before

That's the one guys. Bit of a mess but Voris is building with exactly the same gauge tubing and also building some reproduction forks from the original spec. Pretty awesome really. Very excited to see what happens. Will document all as it moves along. Del is making some decals when the materials arrive. Cheers dudes.

No better man to sort it than the man himself, although his new stuff is definitely an acquired taste his work is still outstanding, this is a great project.

I've seen pics of him before in the workshop puffing away on the cigar while he builds.

Can he not do you some forks then?

I've got some Chrome VDC Monkey Bars for sale mate

[wildon]

Voris is a cool guy ... i got him making me something too 

[tonycoutts]

PM me about monkey bars, though I do have NOS white Monkey Bars that I was thinking of getting plated. Bit of a shame. When the frame is done, Voris will tell me if it's good enough to chrome or powder. Be interested in price though? Cheers
