XEROX · « **Reply #15 on:** October 03, 2008, 07:38 PM »

thanks Del, it is a very well built frame and forks , sexy,sleek and could i say Beautiful? it looks far better than my laserlite put side by side ,however i am building my old ride to mount on my wall iin the study to remind me of all the fun i had back on the 80s on and that was the laserlite.
