Looking forward to see your project of it, and if I can help any, gizza shout, may seek pointers and tips myself poor thing had been used as a field bike so it was neglected,battered and abused.... didn't look like it had any tlc since i rebuilt it last worst of all,some egit had lopped the last 3 inches off the back of the frame to fit an aftermaket yz rear mudguard... lots to be getting on with lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
