i bought this bike off ebay a few weeks back and was taking a chance really as i couldn't see what bits were on it or if the frame etc was any good as it only had one crappy picture with the wheels off it.
turned up in nottingham to and old people estate and a bungalow with a honda on the front ;D.
anyway turned out it was the fella,s parents place and the bike was round the back.
saw this heap of bike in the back of the garage and thought thats another lot of money wasted lol.
the closer i got the better it was lookin. could see a redneck and v monster tyres so thought i can use them if worse comes to worse.
it turned out it had been bought and used for about 6 weeks by the fella before he went to uni and had been stored ever since.
chucked it in the back not proper looking at it and went home. only when we got back did i look at it proper and how good it all was :).
a strip down of everything and a good clean and it came up really well.
heres a few before and after pictures.only thing changed were the spokes as they were too rusty. and the chain which cleaned up but i liked the gold one better
