This is the model given to the UK team members in the mid 80s. You will notice they went away from the high seat tube rake of the Z series and Pistol Pete and changed to a more conventional vertical tube. Although the top tube is almost an inch shorter than the PP the crank to front fork length is greater.

sexier crank fitted

This 2010 CW ZX Hollywood was offered to me last year by a fellow Radster. Originally it was in factory red cosmi-chrome but had chips on the forks and had had a front brake fitted which had scraped away some of the thin brittle coating. So I stripped it back to the base chrome layer and gave it a good old polish. The bars and seat post were standard with the Hollywood package from CW but were red too. They were stripped and kept as chrome.

Then off to SBD it went for a light coat of candy red powder. The results were amazing!!!

After gathering a few bits along the way (Thanks to Woody & Wildon) I went with a mixture of NOS and NEW. After all it is a retro build!
The pictures just don't show how the paint blings
