Gary, thanks - looks stunning on the pics.
I've loads to do on mine, still trtying to acquire some of the unobtanium missing bits before I can crack on with the resto.

Cheers Tim

Garry that looks stunning - love it.
I've recently bought an H1F project: she's a bit rough; but your bike reminds me what a cracking example can look like.

Looking forward to it Ted: roll on Spring.

Absolutely love it: cant wait to see this develop

Cheers Tim

Ted, if it ever stops raining I'll see you at Willy Woods.

Warren re riding: to be honest they don't set the world on fire re performance, but reality is you don't buy old bikes for their performance.
