Very nice, looking forward to see that painted. What colour scheme are you going for?

been watching this on the PB forum, very impressive piece of engineering that looks very well put together and thought out, my only gripe is that the seat looks like a Mid 90's seat design, however the rest of the bike looks to be styled much later.
Its a shame that specials such as these go for far less than a bog standard bike.
I always drooled of Barry's gamma though (even though it was supposed to look like a H*nda!)

That looks the nuts
And I'm sorry Scooble but I lurve the mid 90's design of bikes.
I think in my humble opinion its begging to be painted black (too obvious?)
Ok how about an Italian theme (green/white/red?) but with a variation on a classic 70's/80's race bike (Heron Suzuki?)

Ive got a few designs in mind but really undecided im waiting for my painter to come around and give me some direction.
People keep referring to Barry's bike but he only owned it, according to the present owner who has been in contact with the builder. Barry played no part in any of the build apart from cleaning it and selling it on

I'm not sure that is fair. Iirc Barry sorted a fair few niggles out, it wasn't a show bike by any stretch when he bought it. Barry is an occasional contributor on here, so he may give a full explanation himself. As ever, there are two sides to every story.

I like 90's GP500's too, in fact one of my favs is the Pepsi RGV500, but I also like the modern look too like the NSR500V
