When I saw Dark's bike in the museum I just had to have one - and I can still see why.
(Thats a nice track in the background too - where?)

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
or beer holder eh teamsano. Anyhoo - I like mine and Dark's little beauty must be half decent to carry BOF to glory...

Slowly, slowly the parts are arriving. Right now I'm trying to decide on which saddle & wheels to fit!
Cranks should drop through the letterbox tomorrow.
then Bars,

Got to be done for my first Old Fools,
yes I know it's a race bike but I figure it may be a good way to get to grips with it!

Finally got all the bits together to build my Champion on saturday evening then raced it over at Hayes on Sunday at my first ever Regional against some quicker Old Schoolers

Besides flipping out of the gate on my first gate start

,
I loved riding this bike. Stable with just the right amount of compliance for my tastes.

Was great to meet you Steve and barring the gate wobble you had in the last moto (??) you held your end up bloody well.

hope you can make some more of the OS Regional gates as we defo need the support (only 4 riders yesterday)

oh and he did race with pedals on....

Good to meet you too Crooch - thanks for the props!
I'm going to be on the OS gate that's for sure.

I finally think I got this bike down & complete. It needed a few bits: a custom green padset from Firebird, some Ame'rica grips and polished pedals to round it off...

That is really stunning, if you ever wanna get rid send me a PM before you put it up mate

I love that, the gold and silver just works so well.

Green pads look

Nice one.

Very nice bike, one of my most wanted frames

didn't think I'll ever fall in love with a 92 kuwahara..

till today !!

That green padset is just excellent, as for the gold rims...

Beautiful machine

well spotted - the correct end cap for the cable is missing. If anyone has the correct one for a Tech IV please LMK.

crazycraig · « **Reply #43 on:** May 27, 2009, 11:31 AM »

nice !!

That is a lovely lovely looking bike, the green pads are a great idea and they compromise the frameset really well.

Nice one mate.
