did the rs500 sell ? i've advertised my nos but built twice in 83 mk1 burner. its a beauty, i squashed the tubing to make it look like a skyway and added pk ripper decals cos i like them better.
i built it in yorkshire so have named it the pk skyway yorkshire ripper burner. its better than all other bicycles. will px for quality persian rugs or a mail order bride. or the rs500 and cash my way.

Shoot me down in flames if I'm wrong but weren't the hlt and the senior pro built by the same people on the same production line using same tubing and same welding then chromed the same but one was given the hlt finish??

Had a pro bitd and have a frame now also..

I know the parts are different but that's not the problem..

Sure this has been gone over before..

Mark over at os-db has done hours of research I'm also sure of...

I can't see the problem...

Ferraris and fords are no comparison..

and to a collector neither is a senior pro and a hlt, ask a hutch collector the same question about a pro racer and a pro star. i guess all i can say is keep watching and in time you will see the result of this stuff. god bless and good luck

I do understand where you're coming from..

But like hunterdubber says if that If his hlt had been dechromed fully no one would have known it was a hlt and just thought it was pro..

I agree hlt's deserve to be hlt's and pros deserve to be pros for them to be truly original..

Anyway I can see ya point but don't think painting the odd pro as a hlt or stripping the odd hlt yo be a pro is crime of the century thats all...

I love em both

TO ALL ...... if i wanted to hide the fact it was a pro it would have took me seconds to take the decals off " fact" but as i am doing this a a part time job sort of i am just the monkey doing the work

what if the owner paid more for the frame set than a Leary?

?

hey wake up paul you might miss summit

lucky1 · « **Reply #85 on:** October 10, 2009, 12:00 PM »

anyway stupid maybe!

But fact, Neils work is whats being shown on this thread, the quality and finish of what he can do to a build.
I think whats he's done so far is great, and most of the people who have made the neg comments, could'nt afford to buy the dust caps.....

what i want to know is how does gremlin know neil is a retard , cos he hides it well

scary_leary · « **Reply #95 on:** October 10, 2009, 10:50 PM »

Believe me when when i say Gremlin "Gavin" is a genuine good guy..
His outburst is uncharacteristic but obviously brought out of passion.

Gashead · « **Reply #96 on:** October 10, 2009, 11:01 PM »

I could have worded my post a little better in hindsight !

It was uncalled for, however knowing Gavins passion for Old School, I have had time to rethink !

If their was ever a call to get a thread started for a lad back on Rad, now is the time !

Neil mate, how long have I been talking about restoring my HLT and you go and restore 3 + a shedload of others in the same time!!!

Nice work mate.

PS hope your wedding went well and that married life is treating you gently!!!
