Looking forward to see it completed, but am I the only spoilsport on here??

Not really impressed with this one:

These parts probably never have been show chromed even on day one, but can only see a lack of prep on this ?

Thats some mouth you got there. Lack of prep? You take the pi55 boyo........

Cant fault Jonno's work at all

neiljonarcus · « **Reply #14 on:** November 06, 2009, 11:09 AM »

plus this bike is dated 1964 .......... ALL THE PARTS ARE OVER 30YRS OLD and i am very happy with the finish . i seen the parts in the flesh before jonathan laid hands on them . i am a fussy person and when they came back i am over happy with what he has done

MaD-RoK · « **Reply #15 on:** November 06, 2009, 11:12 AM »

I'm sure N2CUS got it for his 10th Birthday

I do think Arnaud is entitled to his opinion on the prep issue but that derailleur was fit for the bin so it's pretty good considering.

Looking forward to seeing this built

I would take that as an insult.

Peter J · « **Reply #21 on:** November 06, 2009, 11:55 AM »

please don't get me wrong Jonathan's work is some of the best I've ever seen...

Just think the guy's entitled to he opinion.

I know how hard it is to prep for chrome and I personal think he's done a very good job

MaD-RoK · « **Reply #22 on:** November 06, 2009, 12:03 PM »

Me too.

And I know how much effort Jono puts into each and every piece he does, and to say that he has done a lack of prep work is just plain silliness, perhaps a a reflection as to how clued up ones 'opinion' is.

DIRTBIKER250F · « **Reply #23 on:** November 06, 2009, 12:27 PM »

1. WTF is Jonathon

2. Chevron build some of the best resto's on here.
3. Not everyone has to blow, Neil is cracking and a bonus for this site, but am sure he dont mind the odd opinion or two
4. attaking ppl because they dont agree with you is not "for the common good" even if he is French

MaD-RoK · « **Reply #24 on:** November 06, 2009, 12:30 PM »

5. WTF you on about? Attacking people?
