So She’s forgotten her account details so thought i’d just post it up here for her,

We picked the frame up off Evil Bay a while ago complete, we stripped it and got Ken to do the resto for us, turned out really nicely.
Big thanks to Nick from Saint Cloud for all his help with parts and the build! and LP for the shots and riding in the rain just so he could grab the camera.

It’s actually getting ridden around with different forks, some chrome forks that were drilled and have a lot more rake.
