That looks very nice indeed. Nice colour combination and the elegant sweep of those front forks puts the clumsy 'straight leg' modern stuff in the shade. Great work.

Just needs some pizza cutters tbh!

Couldn't agree more.

I had one almost all chrome and red paint fade? What model was it?

Might have it still at my parents...

Sounds like a Cobra

Yep, sounds like the Cobra. Usually the red fade was 5 speed and a blue fade was 10 speed. Red one was my first proper bike. Still remember my first ride Xmas day Sherbourne in Elmet
