WJ000606

I know it's an old post but i've been searching


Soooo close to mine.


   




Have you started doing anything to yours mate

[meticulous]

what from 4 years ago...

[southern andy]

I know Sam but as i've now started restoring mine i'm looking for all the info i can get mate.


When i got mine it was minus the original Pads and grips, whilst i now know what pads it came with i'm unsure as to what grips should be on it.

Simon ( retrogeezer) he also has a frame set aswell as a complete bike. This topic came up on the search when i was looking for pictures of his said bikes to help in my quest to finish this as it would have come out of the factory.

[jT Racing]

no, it's just sat there looking a bit sad.    never really planned owt with it. i tried del for decals not long ago, i'm gonna get him to do me a set when somebody else get's some done.
Si(retrogeezer) promised to dig his out and get me some pics/sizes for decals. but he let me down    didn't you si
it may get done eventually. unless anybody wants it? £150 posted for f+f and the redline stamped v bars.

I've PM'ed Del about them and says he can do them along as i send my original ones to him which won't be a problem. The only problem i can see will be the headtube one.

As soon as i find a colour match to the frame i'll remove mine and get Del on to the job. The only reason i haven't removed them already is the fact that if i can't match the colour i'll have to leave as a survivor. It's a burgundy sort of red. The closest i've come so far is Rover Nightfire red.

[Gary72]

From memory rover did 3 versions of nightfire red. Have a look at Toyota's Vermillion red.

andy why dont you do what i do, take the frame to a cars colour matching

shop and they should be able to copy the colour for you

[jT Racing]

mines white, so that's easy peasy

the headtube badge looks like a transfer, maybe soaking it will get it off.

[eloopnai]

heres my neighbours bike from when he used to race ive tried many a time to get this for sam but he wont part with it and his son now and again gets it out the garage for a roll around

[Darren Wood]

JT sent you a pm regards the frame forks and bars £150 




Nice one WOODY 

[southern andy]

Do you know if they are the original grips   ??

Funny enough i did today Dan but it was only a small one and thats who said about the Rover colour. They did tell me of another place in Southampton that was a lot bigger and could probably help me more but it was right over the other side of town and i was running out of time.

[jT Racing]

i reckon the bars, wheels/hubs, stem and clamp are original, mine had the exact same on.

yeah i think it's about the confidence in the guy who's going to match the colour,

the guy i use has matched them all, mattdubs ghp, a ripper for radman that had to

match his forks and again the same for fat pete quad
