Had to put some gear on her just to see how it looked  , most of the parts will be changed including the Ron C bars, which I like but not on this build so I think I will let them go, if interested in them just pm me

Thanks for all the comments all  , O am one lucky s.o.b 
Waza its a 79 and yes these were before the normal pk's, and before this was the JU-6 "Jeff Utterback" the same top tube but without the brace.

not quite so,
 the ju-6 came in both round and floval top tube versions.
 the round tt pk came after the original floval tt pk but only had a short production run, it only came about because the factory ran out of the tt floval tubing (they were made in the same factory as race inc) so swapping in the tt was easy 
when stocks of floval tt tubing became available again production reverted to the original floval design.

yes you are correct, but the JU-6 was floval and no gusset

and its a quad not an str 1

but nice round tube ripper there  

[hunterdubber]

floval.....



jeff himself with a floval

both are JU-6's

as for the str-1, some say 3 prototypes, some say 6, then a production run of 200 all in hi-tensile steel, most of which cracked/snapped, this problem along with stu-t leaving SE lead to the redesign and renaming of the frame to what we know as the looptail quad, this ran for a couple of years until the 531 quad came out

stu on the str-1

I had a bottle saved up but once I opened the lid I lost it  
This thread is churning out some seriously cool info on early SE kit,  a big   to those who really know their stuff...

Dubber, I have an era correct spec in mind but locating it is going to take some time and £££££££ as these things sure aint cheap   single pinch and I never even looked at the seat just slung it on

Have no fear Paul I'll make it look the nuts, just for you

[RoyalTrux]

Wow nice one! Wheels fit perfect on it! Era correct indeed.
Are them the correct stickers on the downtube?

[kungfunky]

Well it's been a long hard slog this one but its finally finished and I'm loving it  
A huge thanks to all who helped with parts and or advice, Antiquebmx, Hunterdubber, 58delray, stidds,bobafett, rad-rat, Juan and last but not least Scot "OM".  I'm sure theres more so sorry if I missed anyone.
