November 76 a nice early one lee. I would just clean it up and keep it original. What parts do you need? pm me a list as im having a spring sale ;D

Nice tidy early mk1 you have there lee! wayne is right, give it a good cleaning and keep it original! it will only keep going up in value and besides its a nice bike, good luck with the resto, keep the pics coming!

started it

look at the carpet two kids under two for ya

still after a chainset and a rear guard

[4737carling]

Make sure you put the stand on next lee or its a bugger to get on once the chainwheel is on! Rear guards are hard to get with the external bracket (and the wrap round flaires are even rarer)

You can build most of the bike up while searching for the rear guard. Looks good so far mate.

thanks wayne ,never thought about that , anyway stands on its way ;D
daft question time
whats the best way to feed the cable though the frame

[4737carling]

Thats easy mate just push the cable through the frame till you can see it through the little hole, get a clothes peg and take the wire bit out, bend it round so you have a hook and fish the cable out of the hole (its like hooking a rubber ducky at the fair!) ;D

[leewarby]
