It's totally mint,

Frame is powderd pearl white (slightly darker then the original)as the original was every thing else is NOS,the decals i made myself with some help on the artwork from YGT(thanks Mark) but i do have some Nos ones i managed to get from Firebird i will fit if i can ever find the right colour pearl paint.

Same as the original decals where.

if anyone has a nos or excellent condition red suntour type stem and a sugino snowflake chain ring, i'd be interested.

I'm sure Skatepool had Sugino Snowflake Chainwheels a while back.

very nice mate

That is a stunna, I love the look of that bike really does scream 80's UK bit like the old pro star and DB advert.

Thats coz they are from the same stable...

Mark, I'm sure I told you this already but in case I didn't, and I hope this does not pee you off.....the wheels should have a red finish too, like the burner-type plastic coating.

It's funny, no one took the slightest bit of notice of mine at MK06! It's on the right in this pic:

And this is me in about 82 on my original one:

Yeah i know Si, just can't find any one to do them with a red lacquer yet, they are the correct cmc wheels though. theres a few things that need doing to make it original, like a snowflake chainwheel(on its way),oalkley 3 copy grips, sugino crank,aero seat(got 1) and suntour copy stem, but it looks nice as it is ,thats why i've left it like it.

Did i mention i have a Nos decal set to go on it once i find a bright pearl white for it
