Sorry Magnamaniac and Cadcatz
I have slapped myself around the head. It will not happen again

I had to get rid of all the shit though.
It was in a terrible state when I bought it.
I have replaced the rear wheel and sprocket carrier bearings.
Gonna strip it down a bit further, make it safe to ride and then I have some ideas of what I want to do to the bike after getting inspiration from
you lot on here.

Pretty good!

I can actually see what I'm working on

A few more weeks and you will not recognize the bike. There are not enough hours in the day though. I want to be in the garage.

It's a great feeling when you get a new project isn't it?

Like a new girlfriend. You cannot leave her alone

Still a long way to go.
Work keeps getting in the way though

Got to source some old timer mudguards.
I like the seat.

Haha, that seat would be great, looks like an old moped seat?
Not too comfy on longer trips I'm afraid, but mekes a statement

Getting there.
The colour is darker than it looks in the photo. The flash brightens it.
Got to sort out the mudguards and the saddles. Get the Exhaust back on and some different handlebars.
