That’s a good question Damo. I don’t really know what the show & shine criteria is either. As far as I can tell, almost none of my bikes are suitable for entry. I do know that over restored isn’t appreciated. Tuffs that show there age wouldn’t be marked less than ones that had been bleached, blasted etc. You entering? I really hope I get to catch up with you at MK this year mate
I think a lot of people think that dirty is the same as discoloured. They are different though. It is called show and shine for a reason. If all of the bike is looking NOS and you have discoloured Tuffs they can look out of place. If you have a nice bike with discoloured Tuffs it is different it can look right, it is about getting the balance right.It is far more sacrilege to chuck a load of repop/new parts on a bike IMO. The quality of the builds is so good you will probably not get away with it in some of the larger Categories like Old school race and Freestyle.
