Well their's that many members on here that have praised Gil_M for the top quality work that he does that i lost count age's ago ...

Yes i 've been there many time's before getting impatient because thing's won't happen quick enough :facepalm: ..

Patience is a virtu so they say,and I will bide my time.

My wheels turned up yesterday courtesy of Poptrippin very well packed I must say. I also got to polish up the cranks today and gave the wheels a clean too also sorted out the forks so no need for a trip to the machine shop .




I did a mock up just to see what it will look like and without the decals its looking a bit bare but its coming on nicely.

 

[Muddy paw]

Yep! Clive it does look a bit bare without the decals but it's certainly looking the part none the less and those cranks have come up really well so i take it some auto sol was used on those then ? ..

 

[kingbling]

Thanks Ian No auto sol for me I have a secret weapon a polishing wheel that I can put in my drill makes life so easy

 

[Muddy paw]

Your welcome Clive and yes i've been meaning to get myself one of those wheels for a while now although i've got my disc set up for cutting and grinding and a couple of course wire wheels for severe surface rust ..

Thanks for the link Clive and i'll invest in one of those kit's a wee bit later on after i've sorted the bit's i still need for my bikes :facepalm: ..
