I have been busy of late, recreating all the bikes that I have owned and raced in the past.

So my new build is my race bike from 1984 a candy red Curtis Pro. This is virtually identical to the bike that I raced, except on that bike I had Cooks Bros cranks, however I wanted a bike in my collection with a 1 piece crank.

Now I really have a few people to thank for this one, firstly Moose (Phil) for letting me have the frame from him, I hope I have done it justice mate. SuperbikeDan for the amazing, amazing, amazing candy red powdercoating on the frame/forks/bars, Dan will tell you that the pictures do not do the colour any justice at all. Del for his amazing work on the decals, as usual top work Del.

Well enough boll**ks from me, here are the pictures.
