 Hi all, thanks for letting me join site much appreciated! Obviously I'm new on here, basically saw an old school burner a while ago and it brought back a lot of teenage memories happy fun times.....so I've purchased my self a mk2 1986 cromo frame n forks with hopefully the intention of doing a rebuild! So any help or advice off any fellow members would be fantastic thanks mike.

Get yourself a supporters tag and give your wallet hinge a good oiling

Taken advice from old schoolace, subs paid lol, I'm not expecting things for free and really do appreciate all the help you fellas can offer!  I'm not a bike genius etc although I know it's straight forward screwing this n that together  I'm a tad confused with the appropriate parts required, I'd like to keep it as original as poss etc but at the same time I don't have silly money to throw at it....... So far f&f has stood me to £86 inc p&p! So just a steady plod on parts etc wheel wise I never was a fan of mags so ill be happy with spokeys ! Thanks again.

Change of plan......been browsing images for colour scheme ideas and really like the look of black & white, so that in mind white levers and callipers, black bars, black pedals, chrome crank & headset, black & white spotted grips.....the more I look into it I'm thinking mixing old with new, don't get me wrong the originals rocked in the day
