Looks cool but not really my cup of tea, short time left and cheap?

I loved my Shock-a-Billy but that one is too big for me. Perfect for you though Gazz- would probably be the last bike you ever bought too. Absolutely superb they are.

Quite a bit to get it up to scratch. I have had to repaint the chainstays and paint in several dameged areas of paint. Its very easy with splatter paint finish though. That said- none of the paint on the forks was actually splattered on- it was all painted on by hand with a fine brush which took about 3 hours before laquer. its the only way to get an exact match to the original finish. Will be picking up fresh decals from Gil at the weekend when i see him and I will show it to youse lot when they are on.
