Re: Captain Kirk’s Mag Revolution.. Part II (gone back for more)

Nick - cracking job again on the build - that obsessiveness you have seems to transcend all warps of retro fanciness' .... Well maybe not down to 200gs .....

Bringing this to MM?

Cheers for the comments Mark, I know they're Pooh and the market agrees, But I need to properly scratch an itch and I haven't got there yet

And hell yeah its coming to Mayhem, not sure which one though as I prefer the look of the black one but the grey one is so clean and in one piece.

I'd leave the donor bike as is mate. Looks in great shape to me

To be honest I'm gonna ride it before I make any decisions , keeping as is would be easier especially as its got matching Snowflake wheels and we both know I like a good snowflake or two.


But just to put your mind as ease, it won't be coming to HONC

Re:

By the seem of things mine a little bit of a mix and match, the colour way and forks make it an A20,
But the components are straight off the LX,Revolution including the not so common LX top pull band on mech, think someone must have been busy swapping components over but never got round to going the whole hog and exchanging the forks for the Reynolds 531 version.
