Rollin72:Thanks the Mags are obviously used(by me)but I think they look much better with the white lettering worn off.
Dordymush; Your right, a white chain would be a winner on this bike, I shall get one soon, thanks’ for the advice. 8)
Bmxbob: cheers mate and thanks’ again for the white walls.  :daumenhoch:

Cant remember where the dust caps came from,They have been knocking around in my parts boxes for a few years,they are 80's NOS and were made by Meteor.With the price of parts now days i am trying to use up any parts I have been hoarding,most of this bike was built with stuff I already had. :)
