That's brilliant, most definitely a bargin price Alan, especially when you consider a pair of standard off the shelf link pipes are going to be the best part of £100 let alone all the rest that guy has done :!: I suppose you now have the bike in the lounge or kitchen seeing as you can't take your eye's of it :!: :wink: :lol:
