				| Got this yesterday , and it's nearly as nice as it looks 
   
 
 
   
 Going to tidy it up a bit , plated or stainless fasteners and revive the faded black plastic bits , it runs well but it's not quite as sharp as it should be
 But it is very standard , and I quite like that , much as I want to mess about with it , must resist

				| That's nice, always liked the red colour combo, didn't realise you're supposed to ride them   Those front brake lines look like they might snap off at any moment, surely that's not the correct angle for them??

				| Yeah the brake lines look odd , but the fittings all seem fine , I will replace them with some s/s ones to tidy it up a bit 
 Gary , yup has been nicely rebuilt tidy and original spec , but does need a few bits done , I'll get toddy gee'd up to get my last RGV giong again
 
 Start the Fife 250 gp lol
