This O.P. Racing 'expert' framest, headset & CW expert bars landed just after Xmas thanks to Matt. It's come to join it's big brother.

Looking a tad rough, even for a BMX tramp me, I tried the citric acid bath for the first time. Never in a million yrs did I think it would shine again like this! You know the story, if not Owen had 25 built for his race team by Brian Curtis.

Built up for now using parts I had spare, a few bits I still want to swap (grips, chain, brake blocks and plate) but hopefully got that racy survivor look nailed.

Great job AP, a pair of rare beauties in the same stable, awesome.

Oh, and never apologise for a pic heavy thread. There's not enough of this type of thing on here as it is.

What he's aid too^^^^^^!

Andy68 · « **Reply #5 on:** January 14, 2016, 09:10 PM »

Nice ^^^^^

Owen still has his original Pro, mine was his spare which he stickered up in the 90's with Owen's Cycles. The resto is 'expert', 18"TT compared to the 20" Pro.

So that's 3 known, so far................

You wanna sort those decals out

steve69 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 05, 2016, 10:26 PM »

That came out of the bath a different beast altogether

I've not tried a citrus bath yet but that certainly makes me want to (when I get something crusty enough)
