Evening gents,
This is the first time I've posted a build under this section so please be gentle with your comments

It follows in the footsteps of some lovely PK Ripper builds and I hope you enjoy my offering.

It's an 83 looptail and I got the f&f, handlebars & seat post from a member on here. The first picture shows how it arrived and it was lovely but I fancied it being candy red. Also the stamped lg forks were troubling me and a member on here kindly sorted me out with an unstamped pair - so thank you again for that

The second photo shows the f&f after a trip to Dan who did an amazing job on it - thanks again Dan

The rest of the photos show it built. Need to sort our some Velcro for cable ties, pads and maybe a plate. Thanks for looking

Very nice there. The candy red, gold and black combo is always a winner. A great start with your bike builds. You'll struggle to top this one! The bar had been set very high

WINI · « **Reply #21 on:** January 14, 2014, 07:20 AM »

Sweet. Really nice

Howser · « **Reply #22 on:** January 14, 2014, 12:57 PM »

I really appreciate your comments guys and they mean a lot - thank you. I'm especially pleased with the seal of approval from Ash

I will get some photos of it in the sun as the candy red really sparkles.

My next build is a silver streak which was my rider bitd. For personal reasons I'm looking forward to that one but agree with your comments and not sure how I'm going to top this one

Cheers guys
