Thanks to everyone for dropping comments on the frame - I do feel very very JAMMY

Its funny but when I first came on here you see peoples names and I thought 'SuperBikeDan' ... he must fancy himself  :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

...but if anyone has ever lived up to their name then its Dan... and I've been a SBD fan since the ABMX polka dot race bike from BITD!

Thanks to beard1973 for his BOTM comments... but its not really about that. Its supposed to be a survivor rather than a NOS dream machine and I'm trying to keep it as close to its 80s spec as possible ( that was the deal I made to get it for naught ) so it should look something like this...



( I've had to use some white Skyways until I find a rear OGK... and I've swapped the Rock bars for some Forklifters... everything else is reused )

... but MOST of all I WANT TO RIDE IT

* QUICK UPDATE *

The frame colour was a one off and matching the forks wasn't going to happen - so the forks will be silver chrome as it matches in well with the bike.

I've given up 'trying' to make it happen now - its easier to just follow the path its taking... go with the flow.

Forks, chainring ( de-adonized by Dan ) and pedals back next week then its hopefully finished in time for a ride down The Boardroom in Leicester  :smitten:
