7-Up... whatever happened to that build? Dusty, maybe you should do your Retro as a carbonated soft drink bike? One thats not been done... Tizer? or hit the hard stuff and do a Babycham? Best damn idea ever. A 7 Up rep. I have ALWAYS wanted that bike, it just sums up the eighties perfectly. I know you prefer building bikes these days Dusty but when they are finished you sell them to some lucky bloke and that funds the next build. Now I don't want to flash Β£ signs at you but a 7 Up LC would fetch a hunk of dosh, especially if you built it. Alex

There will only ever be one true 7UP bike in my eyes, I wouldn't try to copy it. There was n IrnBru Lc in a bike mag a few years ago too

That's a fantastic pic brings back so many memories The best set of leathers bar none ever. A quiz in the local paper today asked what was Barry's number for the whole of his career.

I saw a advert in one of the bike magazines a couple of years ago and the owner of the 7-up bike was looking for the original panels for it. Maybe a Coca Cola red and white LC/Ypvs or a black and orange Tango one π€

I have to say this is the one type of LC I would love to build. Use all the cool stuff from back in the day and even better if the bike is already well known, just fallen on hard times. Im sure Dusty could really do something amazing with his skills to make a new 'well known' 80s bike tho. We have so much more skills and parts available in the modern world.
