hello all, I dug this out the garage last week I think its a 95 model its been in there for the last 13 years, I'm not sure if I should re spray it or leave it as it is? So I thought I'd see what you all think. Thanks ricky

you could always give it a polish and get some new decals, there are some people on here who could sort some out

I did think that, what would be the best thing to polish it with.thanks

My mate has one of these, it's mint with kooka gear on it. I want one :'(

Possibly the coolest bike name ever??

If you do go down the polish and new decal route, good luck getting the top tube one on straight!!!

It's only original once.
And that one is in fine, usable condition.
If you get it resprayed & take the popular "easy" route of applying vinyl replica decals over the top of the paint it will never look the same. And the 3-bar "Cruiser" decal is not available (tho you could get it made)

Unless you wanted to completely change the color, I would leave it; that 1995 navy & bronze F&F color combo was a close copy of an older Cook Bros cruiser color.

Thanks guys I think iv decided to leave it as it is, the only thing I want to change is the handle bars, becase there just cheap ones that were put on there a few years back.
Any suggestions of handlebars that would look good? I'll try to put a few better pics up today.

On-One Mary bars in polished alu or the chromed steel version.
Classic Oury BMX grips or long "Keirin" track grips work well on Marys if you don't need any bar space for shifters etc.
