I built this bike to look like the bikes often seen in the early 70's ridden by suedheads etc and then later on in the 70's by northern scooterboys

however i have decided its time for a change (been like this 4 or 5 years) so i thought i'd stick up a couple of pics before the change over

If you are building a similar style keep your eyes peeled as most of the add ons will be up for sale
The majority are original items
However there is nothing on this bike that wasn't available in the period it replicates

Bit easier to get down the side of the house as well :D

Time and money with the GP, was quite an easy tidy up rather than a complete from scratch build.
