Very nice Andy, caught my eye at MK that did.
Here's mine:

84 Andy Patterson with AP bars:

Bought the bike complete from Crazy Craig at MK12 and stripped it down immediately including the chrome until I could find the right bars, took me a year but well worth it I think.

And it's little brother, an XL:

Bought the frameset from EBay for a song, stripped the chrome and rebuilt it a year or two later to match my AP.

This is my candy blue Shadow, bought the f/f from Markj and I believe it belonged to JT before him.

A very poor picture of me on my chrome shadow 1984 I think.

Here yo go Andy - my restored JMC DY - sorry if my post is a bit big, if it is let me know

Found it.... in a damp cellar sat in a puddle rotting away

Looked at it....

Cleaned it and looked at it a bit more.....

Sent it to Phil Sawzal

..... who started to work his magic

As we expected it was rotten....

But Phil wasn't prepared to lay this DY to rest....

Got lucky on a badly listed GT with JMC DY forks and bars on it. The Bottema race forks were replaced and the DY parts rechromed....

After going through a boat load of swatches a colour was picked and the pain mixed. The paint was applied by a good friend Johnny Robinson....

Stickers were supplied by Jim Melton while I was in the States and the fun of building it began.....
