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.  :daumenhoch:

Did i mention i have a Nos decal set to go on it once i find a bright pearl white for it  :4_17_5:
