I took great delight in building this iconic bike.
The frame was received powder coated in the 1985 colour way. I love the look of the 86, so I thought would being it back to it's former glory.
Unfortunately, the chrome had been stripped, so I spent a few days buffing up the chromoly, and it gave superb results :).
Nearly everything is period correct, and what isn't has been mentioned.
I hope the order in the video makes sense...I have tried to show the process of stripping the paint job (Using paint stripper, a brush, and lots of sand paper, followed by 3 days of buffing!!!)
All this would of been impossible without the aid of the internet, no chance finding this kit in the Scottish Highlands!!!
