Brought this survivor....Too scratched up too leave , too expensive to Re-Laqeur and decal , so i thought id take the risk and get it back to chrome

The strip begins

Ill post up as it goes along, also pics as it was prior to breaking down

Personally think it looked awsome as it was, shame to see another one get stripped back

Great little bikes, there was a set of wheels and cranks on the bay the other day.

As you can see by the time of this post..... I've got a new born daughter

Haven't had time to do anything with the bikes at the mo

Ash, I love the black chrome lacquer as well but in places it was non existent . I found someone who could re do it but the cost , plus a new set of decals didn't make it viable for me. If it had original parts then I would be worth the spend ,but as it is ,I'm just going to clean it all up and build it with the Mini stuff I've got knocking about

just need some cheap , half decent 1 3/8 wheels and I'm good to go

Watch this space....
