Been busy

working on the bike for most of the last week, just getting as much of the frame cleaned, primed, sanded and painted ready for tonight so I could start reassembly.

Much of frame is now back together but have the horrible jobs to do - the handlebars and cog/crank arms will need re-chroming - not a problem, but it'll add a week to the rebuild. I'll be putting new bearings in the headstock and the wheels will need the rims re-chroming though as I'm hoping LBS (Everndens in Paddock Wood) may be able to supply some new rims and maybe able to sort me out a shiny new chain.

I was having a look at the engine tonight as I want to clean out the tank (plus repaint) and replace the fuel pump/fuel filter (there looked to be a nest of sorts with airfilter housing which I've cleaned out).

Hopefully some pics tomorrow.
