Re: Restoring a kr1s
Oke change of planes.
As i was not happy with the painter for the frame i went to look for another painter.
But i was Lucky to vind a NOS kr1s frame so i wil be going to use that instead.
As soon the frame wil arrive i wil post a picture and start the build

Re: Restoring a kr1s
Jarno,
Did your NOS frame come with a chassis number, or just a blank space for you to stamp your own number?
Will you be painting the NOS frame, or just using it as it is?
Regards,
James

Re: Restoring a kr1s
we've discussed this before.
you can never ever buy a numbered frame, you always have to put your frame number in the new frame. after all, you only buy a new frame because your old one is no longer useable.
if you could buy a numbered frame, theft would be too easy.
