I have been building this for three years and I cannot hang on any longer. I was going to wait until I had rstored the DX pedals, but its taking too long.
Anyway, I bought this in 1985 from Surrey cycles and sold it in 1987 for £50
By luck I got it back for nothing ayear later and it has lived in the shed ever since.

Cheers for the comments. :daumenhoch:
Jay - that picture is about all I had to base the bike on.
Getting the bits was not to bad, but I did panic over the Decals a little bit.
Del painstakingly put a set of vinyl together, but in the end Munners came up with a set. Don't know where from, but I have not seen a set in green before or since then.
Alas the chrome is not original. :'( The bottom bracket and seat tube were badly pitted and I had a bottom bracket boot that must have spun as it took all the chrome off. So it was rechormed twice the first job was really poor.
Gazza(mr p.k.) - come round and take a look anytime mate, you know your welcome.
Just got to get them pedals done now...oh and put the tyres on in the right direction ;)
Cheers...Steve

I think your right. I had a green hot seat but I could nopt decide what it was from the picture and sold to to fund the Kashi, which I thought looked better. Still have the straight post though. I may get another Hot seat just for authenticity if I bring too MK or post on BOTM, but will keep the Kashi as the hot seat looks a bit stumpy ;)

The green kashi obviously looks cool too :daumenhoch:
