Carl that front head is here if you want it .

had a little tinker today, heres the difference between real and fake carbon....

I like the rearsets but the dodgy coloured foot pegs lets the appearance down a bit.. is the lever black as can't see it in the pic very well.

Martys going to call his Spondon ''Patch''...It's a bit of an old dog but also it has more akin to a patchwork quilt...

Agent p I thought you was getting my frame powder coated :-)

I see you are getting eager as your playing with your frame.

O agree the frame needs to be Black even if you just paint it yourself. Your just wasting time faffing around with bits if carbon wrap. It could have been done ages ago and had plenty of time to dry and go totally solid by now. If you don't want to use Hammerite (which I think is sh1t anyway) then use some engine enamel. Just paint it on by hand.

SOd painting it as you have it loose . Get it powder coated its a much better harder and longer lasting finish . Paint will scratch chip fade and need doing again within a few years .

yup, i'm not liking the footpeg arrangement dude, and your right, they do let the rearsets down, not sure what to do about it tho, i know i can get new pegs but i don't know if they'll fit the levers, these parts hail from the late 90's and it shows....
its all good for tomorrow buddy, carls cobbled his exhaust back together, he ain't happy with it tho....
i'm just looking at maps to sort out a route down to yours...
the weather for tomorrow looks ok atm, so i'll see you in the morning buddy....

We should try one of my Harris pegs to see if they fit. They are cheap to buy and are designed to snap at the base rather than bend and damage the rear sets.

Forgot to add, I also dug out a rear wheel spindle & bagged up some bits of clock & put them next to a motor...

Sorted out some more tools.

Cleaned/de-greased Droppers motor.

Removed a pair of weights from the damaged clock bracket.
