They are chrome 1.5 arays on GT hubs. I remember him buying them from hotshot. Oh, and Ive got the hubs in my shed!!!

so nice to see in this condition,
as mattdub said the patina on the stem is fantastic,

leave her as she is dude, she's aged well!

Alex, you remember Carl 'sex on wheels' Alford right?  Man, spoke to him today, he has no idea about all this retro shite, he has in his dads garage:

1 X darrel Young, candy apple with SST race lace hubs
1 x Chrome Darrel Young
1 x JMC Andy Patterson
1 x JMC cruiser
1 x JMC pit bike

I told him this stuff is worth a fortune, we're going to dig it all out next weekend.


BTW, that Shadow is a dog mate, well done!  My best mate had a shadow, they are super short but digging those hutch hubs mate........

Tell him to leave as survivor or maybe restore a few bits , survivor with history =

Nice one Alex, looks cool mate.

Am I the only one who wants to buck the trend and say restore it? I really would. But then again I keep my bikes in the house, can't ride and have a fancy for shiney things.

Alex that bike makes me weep - what a job lot of classic parts. Go on though, restore it!
