I love these in red, jj's blew me away. I saw the frame when he'd just got it back at fearnville. The next time I saw it built at mk and the bike made stop for some time, just to soak it in.

You've already done your homework mate.
If you build it in a guise of how one of these was raced then you have to have got it right.
When I see a build I always like to know stuff like, "why has he done that" or  "why did he choose that part"
When you get these sort of things presented it gives you a bit more appreciation/ enjoyment of what your taking in.
What ever you do with it I know you'll do justice because you don't know any different.
I can't wait. :daumenhoch:

I can't remember the exact number but there were 6 or 7 factory candy blue DY's made. Jim Melton still has all the info in his little black book. And I also heard that Darrell had one of these as a practice (?) bike. When a collector bought this bike in the early 2000's he assumed it had been repainted a non-standard factory so painted it red, only to later hear from Jim that blue was it's original colour. Oh dear! An OG finish blue DY is the rarest production variant.

JMC's rule. They look just so right.

Love it Chris.
Always was and still is one of my favourite bikes. It looks great as it is, but a spoke option would be nice. Originality aside, candy apple frame and anodised blue rims always look good, or vice versa.

Might be worth contacting Jim to see what the OG finish was,then get it repainted in the OG colour ???
