I remember this story, it made me cringe! the restoration on that is unreal!

[steve Beech TA]

Wow!!

Hardly the perils of chroming more like "steer clear of cowboys"  .  An easily avoidable incident to my mind, if the chromer was any good it would never have happened.  That said, good resto

Now this is the part of restoring I can't get into. Yes, It's an awesome job, but it's not really a resto is it...

Remember Trigger and his broom...

It's not the same broom and it not an original frame...

Having looked at the thread on VBMX it looks like he`s only renewed the 2 main tubes and repaired the rest, so I`d say great restoration not new bike
