Ive spoke to Philpotts hes going to grind them rechrome them and grind them back to originali recambi .
i paid Rex a kings ransom for the elctricicity bits then I wasnt at suprissed at the quoted price from philpots as im sure he had rang Rex and had a good laugh at my expence parden the pun.
The bike is an oily rag a rusteration an abomination.
an idea got from many years ago seeing a guy on a ride out in holland with a 500 he had found in a field it broke down everywhere and dropped oil and spewed wafts of white smoke out , I thought what a great idea .
Make a bike that looks Poo but runs like a swiss watch .
Ive got two kettles which run like shites but look like a swiss watches so what the hell.

Hi . My forky tubery ferkins are back from Philpotts and ive now rebuilt them with new seals and new spring cups all hidden by new rubber alligators.
The front end although looking really rough and rusty is now performing better than new, which should feel like a tea trolley on a cobbles as they were in the day.

All you have to do now is underpants the millimars of all the doobreys and make it all same as new monkey with plenty spendoes up the teapot spout. (Innit?!)
