Hi Martin,
I like the stand =D>

That is way too smart for a track bike

Hi everyone,

Thought I would drop by and say that Martin has been doing a great job of my bike. The idea is that it will be a replica of the bike that I used to have in the early 90's. I will post up a pic tomorrow of what it should look like when it is finished.

I can't wait to take it out on the track next year. I'm not planning on racing it, but will be doing a few track days and generally trying to enjoy myself.

Hope you are all enjoying watching the build.

Cheers,

Mark

Looking good Martin. It is certainly pink, but that was the way in the early 90's!

Here is a pic of the original bike, complete with wheels and mudguard that clash with the black and pink. The bike Martin is building will have the same clashing colours. Sounds crazy but I want it the same as my old bike. We are even trying to find the Shell stickers to match. Martin has looked all over for the Gemini Oil stickers without luck. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

The only other difference will be that the new bike will have green number boards and not blue.
