If you can't see the rear light when its complete and the light is'nt damaged would you liketo sell it as mine has a small piece missing on the corner and spoils its apperence ?

That gold colour reminds me of Matts "Goldfinger"  :)

No worries about the rear light, but if anyone else has a perfect condition one let me know please :) You are doing another top job and I love the frame stand  :D

I'm guessing it hadn't been used all that much in Supergran and if stored for some time since, its gonna come up nice when finished  :)

Hi there the tyres are the original ones still in very good condition no cracks or splits ...but I know that I should replace them but I want to keep it as it was ...Don't expect it will be doing many miles in the future it's just for show ..The only thing that I will be replacing is the motor the old one has brown fingers + the battery and the connectors .I've made a set up just for the job with protection otherwise it will be back in original condition.
