    I am hoping to put the bike back together and while doing it to tidy it up a bit as well. Nothing wrong with how it looked tbh but I think some fresh paint on the frame and possibly some nicer plastics or these resprayed with a graphics kit to boot will make the bike a rather desirable toy hopefully [:D]

    I am hoping to get it looking a little like this:

    Its to be seen if I can make a battered old 90’s bike look that naughty tho hehehe :D

    It’s gonna be black and mean! What paint did you use for the frame?

    Halfords Enamel rattle cans, should be reasonably hard wearing, not as good as powder coating but good enough for naval work! :D
