Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

Im loving that , cracking resto mate  :4_17_5:

Think i would have gone with a single piece chainring myself  :-\  Sure i have one in the garage if you wanted to try it ..... FOC  ;)

Looks real old school and the colour and decals are spot on , just shows you don't have to spend big money to have a great looking build .

Well done  :daumenhoch:
