Charlie's LC hybrid

[avb]

Bougt this off a mate a couple of year's back came with german reg doc's .tried to get a nova and did.then tried for a V5 which needed an inspection. All I had was a frame to show the engineer. So rob Hammond on here lent me loads of parts to build a bike.anyways 5mins after engineer was here he said no problems and 4 days later have a V5.big thanks to Rob as I had to build a complete bike in a week. This is where I'm upto now

Had a trip to kev schofields
Lovely guy .sold me inner muddy subframe and foit rest hangers.fitted hangers with 10mm spacers ti bolts used as way cheaper than originals.trying source brake pedal and front foot rests

Norbo sells the standard footrests

[avb]

Will take a look dusty keep forgetting norbo!tucked away in his bungalow

[midlifecrisisrd]

As Dusty says just buy new

The price used ones are on ebay new saves the refurb and them still being sloppy

Would be a shame to spoil a great build

Some drag bike have this so you have the option of the longer wheelbase to help reduce wheelies.

[avb]
