So Peter, got any special plans for this one? A streettracker maybe?

Well , that might well be the way to go in the fullness of time ... Only the frame is in real good condition , so it would be a shame to modify it at this early stage ... So my thoughts were to restore it to standard , it should be much easier , much quicker , and much cheaper !! And when I get there consider all the other options . But I think a 16" rear wheel would be nice ?

just realised , i haven't got a title for the bike yet , so i sent off the V62 and £19 to DVLA in Swansea today , i had to state the color aswell , so i figured on fire engine red from a hammerite rattle can !!

I'll bet it'll be a bright yellow or green.

A red frame with red mag wheels would look good.

that's a tall order xs !! i'd like to go with lester wheels , they must be good being made in ohio !! but they are not easy to get hold of , and certainly not cheap , so powder coating and polishing the wheels might have to be a later mod !! let's just hope the postman brings the title and the dog doesn't eat it !! ;D
