Cheers mate. Yes, I’m quite pleased with how it’s turned out. Yes, it’s all original braking , may have a go at modifying a bit this winter.. I quite fancy changing the front end for something more beefy if I can find a relatively easy transplant of some sort.

Really nice looking bike! Who did the diamond cutting on the rims? Was it expensive?
