As i have said before, my bikes are all riders, so are not finished to original spec, but close
I have now added the decals, which i finally received from Jonny (BMXMAN.COM). They are defo worth the wait, they just bring the bike to life
The brake levers are weinmann, and the calipers are the original weinmann 1020's that were fitted when i got the bike, just used the magical Autosol on them, bought them up a treat
;D
The Aeroyal seat just needs a resto and decals, but will do for now
Gave the stem, layback and handle bars( Bars from Stella-Cheers Jase) the Autosol treatment too, as well as the crank arm. The Sugino chainwheel and spider were NOS. Then fitted the Tange grips( also from Jase
)
I love the look of this bike, the team colours just conjour up schoolboy images, when i was walking home from school, past the local bmx/motocross shop "The Chequered Flag", and seeing the Andy Ruffell Team Special along side the E.T Kuwahara( Now if only i had the pennies
) and wishing i could have both 
I have loved restoring this bike to somewhere near it's former glory, and cutting about on it, like i was fourteen again, only trouble is my waistline and hairline dont do the bike any justice at all
As always, all comments welcome.
Cheers
Paul
