you can get rubber washers, n you could sleeve most of the bits ya bolt on but the headset n bottom bracket are gonna be a bitch to put in unless you grind em down n use tape wrapped round so you still get a snug fit n not mark the frame. id build n ride the knackers out of it

Sell it and let someone else decide

It may be an object of beauty on its own but it'll never be done justice unless it's built up. Just don't stick one piecers, V-bars or Acorns on it.

Actually an all-Landar Black Shadow would be quite something.

Do it

............. Nah Don't do it $:-\$ .............. Do it

Ummmmmmmm nah don't !

I reckon if it was to be done it would be done by now !

Leave it Lee untill your done with this costly nonsense of building bikes ! Make it your last ever build - you'll propably be 100 by then

I concur - leave the NOS one and get a used one to play with

lee - that frameset is the donkeys bolox mate, take it out of that loft and hang it on the wall and look at it ! everyday !!!

even better hang on the back of the toilet door, so you have something to look at when your passing last nights vindaloo !!

Built it, ride it and trash it!

needs building....am on with black shadow at the minute...going a bit pff piste with mine, as its a resto, but there aint too many about...a nos one built with all the right shit will look mint amongst your other stuff....

shadows are the bollocks.

Rock and a hard place, lovely looking frameset that's almost too good to be spoilt but then again it was made to be built into a bike. If you like the idea of a virgin frameset then leave it as is and get another one to restore into a full bike

matt · « **Reply #19 on:** September 11, 2007, 08:56 PM »

build it soft lad, what else you gonna do with it ?? look at it for another 4 years.
shadows make a good rider, i used to throw my chrome one around at bones did it no harm

Get a nice display case/frame built around it and hang it on the wall with some nice lighting, Then go in the loft and strip all your bikes down to component parts and have a play rebuilding with different parts/colours ,you have enough stuff in your house to keep any sane minded old schooler happy for an eternity without fookin with the Black Shadow
