well done chubs, me likey

Like that lots! Its great to see someone rescue a frame/bike from the scrap heap and restore it back to its original glory. If you have the skill and know how to do this, you should. Im sure most people (including myself) weigh up the trouble of the repair, paint, sourcing decals and the time spent restoring and think, might as well just buy one thats already done. Just my view but what a great turn around, well done mate!

motomagII · « **Reply #39 on:** October 26, 2005, 12:14 PM »

very nice mate .total resto as it should be done ride it now and enjoy .well once you have changed the fork decals anyways lol

how did you danage the powder like that?!?!
When i used to do powder coating, the first one of the line (whatever it was, say a chair frame) we used to beat it with a hammer, proper smash shite out of it.
If it chipped (at all) then something wasnt set up right.

graeme · « **Reply #42 on:** October 26, 2005, 06:37 PM »

p.s. lovely bike, never used to be keen, but im getting tempted these days!

lazychubs · « **Reply #43 on:** October 26, 2005, 06:53 PM »

Used to spend alot of time sunbathing on the roof
