Hi Nigel

I used Agbrigg in Leeds pleased with the results, my fork ears are in good condition but i get the feeling that they will look dull next to the recromed parts and now i am wishing i had put them in also, may have to go back with them at somepoint

Hi Derek
I know there are hard to reach places on a bike ...do you get better acces to those by hanging the bike upside down?
:D
No kidding, you're making progress, looks very good to me! Go on like that.

Hi deka, your bike is coming along nicely, I’m a bit behind you.
I haven’t had any Chromeplating done yet, or wheels, or painting, it’s a long job but getting there :biggrin I have had it running though, sounds amazing with no exhausts on. :clap
