Dogs was running around and in the garage today, cant wait to see what hes done tomorrow
Thanks for your kind comments chaps, talking to dogs bollox it would seem a good idea for us to put together a CD of images on this renovation to help other owners, i for one have learned many tips and pointers from dogs on this build.

Wheels tomorrow, hubs have been refurbished painted and polished. new bearings, new rims and butted spokes off to bike shop armed with original dunlops to be fitted. Then pack bag and off to Spain!
