Decided I'm going to keep a log here of everything I do to this machine from day 1, and maybe get some feedback from you guys.
I'll start with a photo of delivery day and go from there post by post.
Here she is! Day 1. 27/11/2019
Mileage: 26587
Year: 97
Decided to call her Lillith as I kept mixing up the US name with our name and calling it a Firehawk, which is a main story character of one of my favourite game series.
Not long into lockdown boredom I decided my forks needed a seeing to (oo err)
Used a dremel to pull off all the old crap. Bit of etching primer and a nice silver wheel paint and we're there!
While I was here I also replaced the sprockets and chain and put new sprocket nuts on.
One of the few photos where my wheels are clean too! And yes, I do hate them.
(Also, anyone know why my photos keep rotating on here? They're fine on my PC)

keep at it and welcome to the world of the never ending story
has it got a shock spacer in the rear? looks a little low and they steer so much better with the spacer
I'm yet to look at the rear spring, I think I want to replace it.
It's very hard, no static sag, and I can't for the life of me get the adjustment to turn at all!
