Thanks guys. I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into this build but still need to hunt down a few bits for it. Gong to take my time so will probably be a little while before it gets built. As for how I found it, the previous owner heard I was after one and kindly got in touch to see if I was interested. Realy pleased with it.

msj it up  :smitten:

finding the colour co-ordinated shutters for the photoshoot is always the hardest part... could just go for the 'prostitutes alley' again  :D

Quick snap of the F+F for those who asked. Not much going to happen now as I need to get some other builds finished off first.

Yes it is.  :daumenhoch: I never really had my eye on one but when that NOS black F+F popped up I decided to grab it. You don't see black ones very often and it was cheap so I couldn't resist. I plan to build it up at some point but need to find some black juice bars first.

I picked it up from Harrogate, but not sure where the previous owner lived. As for the decals they are rougher then the pic gives away, and the down tube has a 3 inch scuff on the right hand side. Even though they are clearly pretty old I don't think the are original. They are stuck on really skew so looks like they were replaced at some point.

Not sure if It will make it to MK, I have cleared out a lot of my spare stuff over the last 6 months so don't really have enough laying around to get it built. Will probably bring the Holmes though.  :daumenhoch:

We definitely need to get a good Mid School camp going this year. Will be good to catch up with everyone.

The black ones are lovely mate! And yeah the price was awesome!

Ive got some black juice bars but im using them on my Pork build :( ....has Jai got any more kicking around?
