Neil ,Is the guy you're doing the road bike for gonna keep it for sentimental reasons or is he just gonna 'bay it ? . I ask because I wondered if there's a story or two about that actual bike and him or his family etc ............Matt
Neil i cant imagine the pressure you have been under with this resto job If any of those parts had been lost/broken or something other the guilt would have been large IMO I sweat when applying decals for someone else After all you have done the guy should be stocked and your skills are top draw buddy
