Amazing-looking frames these! There's been one for sale over on the Museum recently that I kept admiring. Love the candy red finish on this one though! :smitten:

I love this... it looks like a mini version of my JAD!



I might be able to help with a couple of bits as I think I have a black uni seat and some dia compe brake blocks.... on the condition you give me first refusal if you ever decide to sell ot  :smitten:
