I actually started to build them both today

neither is 100% complete yet so here's a sneaky peek for now

More parts are needed so I'll update pics as soon as they're finished in maybe another month or six

The white one is nice but the red/gold combo bike is off the scale!

What a lovely bike, the clearance in the front forks looks like they would take supa fast sew ups too!

Post up what you did to restore the pedals too and put it in the resto guide section, ohh and is the paint/powder from the Don??
