97 Sunn El Palomino

[chubby]

Right mid kid's, had this thing just after Mk16.

Thought it was a bit funky & up my alley. Turns out that Sunn made one with a stander on the TT & one without.
When it arrived it had grind marks all around the seat tube & TT which tied up with the stander having been ground off ( badly)


Options were, tidy it up as was or sort a stander out. Could only find decent pics of one with stander & they weren't the best..


Had a chat with my bud Mikie down at Cop cycle repair & he reckoned he could knock something similar up,so left him to it. I was amazed when I went back to collect it.....


Few dents to sort still & had trouble finding some appropriate forks till I stumbled across these buggers

Managed to find a pair in le France for le cheap.
Still playing with colour ideas but think it'll be some sort of frenchie blue..

Does look a real leg banger though Damo, perhaps why it was ground off in the first place..

Forks I got were WTP zero forks, couldn't remember their bloody name....

Good enough match... don't suppose you get much choice in the front loading fork section. 
Looking forward to seeing what you do with your next beastly offering Rich... keep us posted.
