  1. Hi My dad phoned me yesterday to tell me he found a chopper in someones garage, without even seeing it i bought it This is what she looks like. http://2share.co.za/Files/10624752_10152919201738564_7700790686576970492_n.jpg http://2share.co.za/Files/559577_10152919202143564_8461191789988089246_n.jpg http://2share.co.za/Files/10431574_10152919202303564_2897692256233641370_n.jpg http://2share.co.za/Files/150716_10152919202478564_2889572755948198288_n.jpg after a "quick" wash http://2share.co.za/Files/10402761_10152919202653564_1494609282932992165_n.jpg and this is what she will look like soon. Also the original colour http://2share.co.za/Files/your_n85.jpg There is quite a bit of work that is needed to get her restored. Bottom bracket is completely stuffed Gear lever doesn't move Seat needs repaired Paint needs removed from frame Frame needs resprayed Stickers Printed Loads of chrome work will post photos/status as i go along
  2. So I managed to get my hands on this very special one-off Morewood over a year ago. She rides like a dream. Some of her parts: -Manitou Travis DH fork - SRAM 5.0 RD - blackspire cranks - Magura Gustav brakes - Electra Fatti-O 24x3 rear tyre (Combat rim) - Electra The Hotster 26" front tyre And now it's time to give her some blingy TLC. I know lil about bikes, even less about customs, so would love any insights & ideas on ways to sort her out nicely (without breaking the bank)! Some basic ideas: - remove most of the decals - go with some champagne gold and/or anodised red bits def: pedals, grips, rotor maybe: chain, rims, chainring, spokes - find a funkier seat Bit more work: - Currently a 1 x 9. Go SS. What trick bits could I look for here? - Has a Manitou DH fork. But for a more full-on chopper look, where would I look for a more radical fork? Although probably wouldn't fit the frame? (without serious mods). Whatever else you suggest! Looking forward to some
