boring old gloss black, i might change them to gunmetal grey in winter, i know what your thinking, yes i am pushing the bounderies of social acceptability....

Lol would look great in white

I'm not sure I will be able to fit them as they are too clean. You will want me to wear marigolds and a white coat or something and pushing me out the way mid fitting to wipe the tiniest speck of dust off.

(:-})

As long as they get a good coat of wax they are very easy to clean .


Every day :-)

Was having a sort of mini vtr workshop a bit earlier, what better use for a large kitchen Mate of mine just bought the yellow storm in the pics ( you should hear from him soon) Nice and quite original bike, r/r already done and cct's replaced 2k miles ago so just stopper mod to do for now. Was swapping back wheels, just needs a tyre for the MOT which is in the morning so having a lend of my rear until he gets a tyre fitted later in the day.
