bought another bit of history today.

A "Tommaselli Cross" handle bar from the 70's. Weighty and they don't make them like that any more

Just need to make a small spacer and bend and arm slightly for the link to clear. I will need to offset the rim 4mm to the right, other than that I'm happy :D

Love the nonchalant posed picture of the forks against the post. Tis going to be some mighty front braking with the double leading shoe front brake!

I think it will over power the forks, but at least he will stop (or stop with my lard arse)

Lets place bets on

a: regular stoppies

b: bent forks

c: regular wheel lockups

looks good though, is it going to stockport then?

we'll see. still got to rebuild the engine and obviously the wheels.

Why Stockport btw?
