Still a great thread this. Did you know the Quad pic "with the Velcro" was taken using a static bike and Perry throwing a tub of rocks and dust over the front wheel.  :P

Chief Quartermaster (QMC) Phillips: ...But that's MK, captain.
Willard: That's classified. We're not supposed to be in MK, but that's where I'm going.
Chef: [interupting] No, no, we go together... on the bike! We came this far, so we go together. All the way! We'll take you up there, we'll go with you... but on the bike! Okay?

Unbelievable 😱, really looking forward to seeing this & I'm not a big race bike fan. In awe of your attention to detail & patience, both of which I lack completely 😁

Thanks boys .. It's real hard sometimes with the gold .. Because it's so bloody 'gold' lol
I'd seen lots ( like Andy Rooski's - a really  nice build by the way  ) which had black parts or others with chrome but I wanted this look.. :daumenhoch:

It screamed 1980's BMX to me  ;)
