Kev,

That's a great article you posted there. That is an 85 expert, do you think it applies to 83 ones aswell?

paddy i wouldn't like to say
as its a real mine field

chances are they were just churning out frames and forks
and banging them together out the door

the whole article can be found here along with a load of other stuff

Is mongoositis air-borne?

It's worse than that mate - you can catch it through the computer screen  :shocked:

John, you of all people know it's even worse than that and you can catch it by thought alone - never underestimate the power of suggestion >:D

Paddy - that bike is a cracker mate and should be well pleased - the F&F are really clean, and the Tuffs out the box - nice touch. It looks even better in the flesh :daumenhoch:

Now get it in BoTM, get it taken for a spin down your local track and finally, get yourself down to MK next year with this one and the other 6 'geese you'll have built by next summer now you've got the bug :2funny:

Mmmm.... I can't sure. It was built in a factory on a production line where the spec changed randomly and often different parts were welded together to meet orders and finish prouction runs off, so you can never really be sure...... :angel:

I'm guessing by the amount of damage at the front end compared to the amount at the back that it's actually a chro-mo rear end - just to start another thread on here of course.......  >:D
