Yep, it's one of THEM!

It was cheap, and in a bit of a state corrosion-wise.

With a T-Cut of the paintwork, some wire wool and solvol plus a coat of silver appliance enamel on the bars it's looking not bad at all now.

I cut the standard grips off and will be fitting some repro Mk2 Chopper ones but keeping the gripshift.

It rode really nicely and is very light compared to the Mk2 and the Grifters.

Once it's finished I'll ride it around for a week or so then sell it on before Christmas.

ido too but how light are they

[capitano]

Yep, seriously light.

The mk3 chopper is parked on the garage floor and the 2 Grifter XLs hang from the roof beams from old inner tubes. That means I have to lift the heavy Grifters up to "park" and never lift the lightweight mk3.

I think I got that arse about face somehow!

It's finished now, but due to the rain again today I only got a short ride on it. The pics were taken at midday, that's how dark it was!

It does ride nicely. ;D

With the MK4 due out in a couple of weeks does that make this one a bit "retro"?

[capitano]

Nice one mikeyboyo! ;D

A brief 10 mins of sunshine meant I could take some photos (albeit similar ones) in relative daylight. ;D













I reckon someone will be pleased to get this in their stocking on Christmas morning now.
