    Am loving how the pipe wrap goes halfway and stops. What's the bet that the tyres are absolutely fucked?

    Am stumped.

    I'm sure that the bike goes just fine... it's just... Why? Is there some clandestine scene involving people who collect vintage police gear? Puzzled.

    "Suits someone with the know-how to remedy the few minor issues." Awesome.

    On the bright side there's a handy carry box for hipster supplies. Roadside application of beard oil, chunky polaroid camera for ironic crappy scanning and Instagram, the sky is the limit really.

    Its funny I have one mate with a chips bike,(changing investment I think) another who used to help with nzta museum, and Sunday a mate garage he has a beemer chips thingy and a wall dedicated to Chips TV show memorabilia.

    Whatever happened to garage porn?

    Oh, right. The 90s.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Insert any number of mechanical horrors here. But still want 3k for it. Selling on behalf of my guilty conscience.

    Bent valves you say? Aww too bad. Sorry Johnno is in the Balsamic islands doing missionary position. I'll send a courier pigeon and ask if he will refund some of the money. Call us back in 18 years.



    Really suit someone who likes doing an inordinate amount of work on a cheap bike and importing expensive parts .

    Yeah that ghey little handbag thing is an odd fashion. I really fail to get the same tired old cliche seat thing stuck on just about anything. Look. Fat tourer is now a McDonald's racer.

    It has potential. However to my eye a rear end should not be cut off forward of the rear axle. It's almost a policy.

    A mate has come up with a good plan.

    Cut the top frame tubes where they meet the one that comes up to the back shock & beat it down 80 to 100 mm & re weld it to lower the seating position.
    Lower the rear end as far as possible & use solid struts, instead of shocks, preferably made from old lawn mower handles. then cut the steering head nearly off with front end still attached starting at the bottom, leaving a small bit still attached at the top & lay the front end forward until the bike is level & use a strap of inch by eighth to re attach it to the frame at the bottom again & make triangle plates to fill in the gaps left at the sides.
    Chopper from '73 XL100?? Na, never built one

    I'm with Drew, a running bike of any sort spells fun of one kind or another.
