fatblokeonbandit Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 So after a bit of an expedition up north, i have acquired some of JB's Moto Martin. I dont think ill call it Martin, Ill call it Brian Anyway long term project this one, good starting point, and the R1 suspenders from the 7/11 I was doing, mostly fit. the back wheel slotted in and the front just needs new sterring head taper rollers... The Frame is 62mm I/D, slingy stem needs 25mm top and 30 mm bottom, but luckily 25/62/17.3 mm and 30/62/17.3 mm are readily available, all be it a bit pricy 15 Quote

I’m sure you’ll sort her out, it’s coming along really nicely 1 Quote
