Thank you so much...I tried my absolute best to keep it conservative as possible, although I didn't back in the day so lots of bits had to go on it...But still has that original spec vibe going on which I love.

No build thread unfortunately; it would have been a very short and boring one since it was in amazing condition when I got it!

It's mostly original. It might cost me a few votes, but since I ride it often, I used a few modern parts here and there (the tires, the saddle and the grips most notably). I still tried to keep the original look.

Really like this... and I've just 'twigged' how you've kept it upright!
