Wicked achievement on that set up Matt

It's good to see someone taking time on something different from the norm and putting some love back into a once discarded, perfectly good bike. Good on ya mate

Does anyone know of any decals available? Saw a thread in the museum about someone over here having some made?

fischflo · « **Reply #38 on:** June 26, 2013, 08:18 AM »

few more bits done today. wheel clean up first, i decided against aqua blasting or re dying as i wanted to see what a bit of time and effort would do as opposed to the easy route of just throwing money at them. so all they got was a good coating of traffic film remover, the karcher jet wash and some WD40.
