Re: .......tonite i tried and failed

.......well i got there in the end, after a week of chasing the guy from our sunday rides that has the same model, i finally caught up with him today, and i gotta be honest sadly i fear the frame will be too big for me...(gutted)....i really liked the look of it too, its a credit to you.

keep up the good work. and best of luck with the sale, im sure the knew owner would be as pleased as im sure i would have been if i was a little taller.

no worries mate.

Re: .a very big bike.......?

.......hi loved the bike so much it got my vote 4 botm, i especially like rollercams,........but i do have a cple of questions...before going to the cash point.....

1....can you tell me exactly how much stand over height you have when stood over that frame, im 5 11, and i do feel the need to have at least a cple of inches...........?

2. (even more important)....did you refinish the frame yourself, the reason i ask is, i need to know if it has been lacquered or not....?????
......the frame is beautifully finished, but sumthing has bothered me every time i have looked at it, the decals that are fitted are incorrect for that model year, and were fitted from 1990 till 1996, and it should have the older sticker kit from 1983 to 89,........and i wouldnt have worried about it, and could have lived with it, however the head badge has been fitted upside down, and should have been rotated 60 degrees anti-clockwise.

this wont be a problem for me if you havnt lacquered it as i can then easily remove and correct the mistake, however if it is lacquered, i would have to refinish it, and thats costly and i would need to send you a pm, ref price..........???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

For the decals, I know were you could find 1984 to 1986 or 1987 to 1988 decals, and not for very expensive !
I could draw them very precisly for a friend

Just read the serial number for knowing exactly the year of the frame, and to know the decals you needs
