I will need some advice and help along the way and I hope I will make some new friends.

finding it a bit daunting at the  mo'

Re your doomed!

tell me about it,

I've only been back on it for a few weeks and I can't believe the amount of time I'm spending on line trying to jog my memory!

My wife gets that glazed over look every time I get exited and tell her about something I've found

Fantastic f&f that mate, when you build it you will be amazed at how nice they ride to.

Take a look in the museum for inspiration and keep us posted

Lovely mate, nice 1st build that's gonna be and a long time coming! Once you get the bug that's it, soon the house will be full of all the bikes you ever wanted and the missus will go mad 

I'm doing a white performer too at the mo, such lovely bikes and I intend to ride this one 

All the best and keep us posted on your build...

unlucky buddy isnt it a genuine one?
hope you sort it

[telelogic]

it's an 85 and I bought it as an 84
no sure if that makes too much of a difference?

[telelogic]

thinking I may just keep it now anyway,
The more I look at it the more attached I get

[dix]

hahaha yeh just keep it dood get building ordering thinking its a full time job

Tis a big difference if your building as a collection bike, not as many 84s as 85s. 84 the original year of a performer (give or take some very early late 83s)
If i bought a 84 and it turned out 85 i would want a refund for sure, if you like it and wanna build a rider keep it cos they are still lovely bikes  .
