Wow mate looks like they did a top job you must be stoked. I’m really looking forward to this resto you’ve really done your homework on the spec. This is the 1st resto of its kind, awesome.

Great build thread ... awesome project ... can’t wait to see it completed

bobafett · « **Reply #37 on:** April 22, 2018, 09:57 PM »

Coming along nicely

Taipan · « **Reply #38 on:** April 23, 2018, 09:44 AM »

Are the decals going to be exactly as shown or would you change the blue for black/chrome to compliment the build?

Great bike that's going to be

The UK did have a R gusset version which is the mk1 pro burner

Thought it was time I did a update on progress, I decided not to use the original gold maxycross I bought because they was to good to strip so I bought these faded gold crank set to have done black, so these and the seat post are still being annodised and will be back shortly, I had the 7x hoops done and there back so when I got the shiny sides done and built I post some more pics up later

Lookin good mate

Top job being done here...i must admit i was surprised by the relatively elaborate decals compared with the UK version!

Griswold · « **Reply #47 on:** November 27, 2018, 12:14 PM »

Good effort! Cool frame.

Can I ask who you will use to annodise rims? And what you used to strip them? Got some I want doing too..

I strip all my anno parts with oven pride, the person who does my anno does it in his spare time and only does it every now and again
