Hi, I have just bought a 50th Anniversary Edition of the bike you all love. I bought it on evil bay and im pretty sure its the real thing but can anyone let me know if the wheels should be black as standard or gold. Ive only seen one other for sale and it had gold wheels where as the one i have bought has black wheels. Anyway ill try and post some images soon.

welcome young sir, Just so long as it's got wheels go out and enjoy the ride.
Cheers ChrisC

Welcome aboard Gary

I'm not too sure about the original colour for the Anniversary model's wheels, but someone could have changed that anyway from new.
If you're worried about the bike being a geniune model or not, doesn't it state on the log details that it's the Anniversary one

Chris.

Welcome!

Look forward to the pics!

tidy matey, looks like the real mc'coy to me

I think you have scored a winner there, cant work out what make the rear shock is. Very smart indeed.

dunno either but its the same on the one in pidcocks down my way, with 0 miles on it!! they found it in a crate when they opened the new shop and now its on a plinth in the clothing dept (not for sale, pls dont touch)

Yes re the shock, Proflex, not sure how good or trick these are but im sure it will be fine.

Pretty damn trick if I remember rightly, not up there with Ohlins but certainly a major leap forward from stock item.
