right then the mad man from LLP our lenny gave me one of his ole frames last night to restore.
many thanks len.another one to the collection
now len loves his back wheel slammed so cut the end off the rear tube the loon
.
can anybody get me a measurement of the said tube and where about the hole was in the end as its been 10mm drilled for a boa brake.
i know there were a few on here.a measurment would be cool if anybody has 5 mins to check it for me
heres the bit missing modified by our lenny

im gonna take it with me today to see steve animal to try and get it repaired.
no way you could get him to drop a tape on it for me is there alex
they must be the right stickers for it too.
i bet del dont have them fookers
.
i seen one on the museum with the yellow ones on it with like the tape measure sticker on the top tube. did they use them on these too as i think del has them.
not doing well with stickers for these bloody frames

I dont see the dude very often but I can try for ya. Might take a while, he aint often in the UK
I think Del has these stickers. He made the same ones for my 1997 24" challenger.
(Mine doesnt have the cable stop on the wishbone, its got an inner guide going round the seat clamp
)

get a couple of other challenger owners to double check, as there maybe a difference in length on different/later versions
